Once you’ve been elected president, it’s critical that after school programs are up to snuff.
So you’ve been elected to serve on your PTA’s board? Once you assume your position, this role will be the most time consuming role. With so many different aspects of the school to take into consideration, it’s crucial that you begin thinking about some of the higher visibility efforts right away. Knowing in advance that it is important to delegate some of your responsibilities will make your life a lot easier as a lot of the other portions of the job start rolling in.
One such high visibility project is your after school program. With parents entrusting their kids to your organization for up to ten hours per day, it is critical that you implement a program that is both enriching and educational for the children in your district. Outsourcing this particular project to an expert could save you the time it takes to give this project the dedication it deserves. It also ensures that an expert in the field is meeting the needs of your students and parents each day.
Outsourcing your after school program needs does not keep you from providing insights and feedback on the program. You will actually feel like you have a more defined set of options to choose from. After school program coordinators can narrow your options down to a few key programs, specifically suited to your district. This can focus on weak areas, strengthening areas where your kids excel, or emerging technology fields. These various programs will help to set kids up for future success, while also keeping them entertained and engaged during after school hours.
Delegating your after school programs will set your kids up for success, please their parents, and ultimately set you up for success in your presidential role.
