2021-02-22 Nominating Committee Election Under Way

Election Status: Started. Closes Friday Feb 26, 11pm

UPDATE 2021-02-026 7:22PM: About 20% have voted. Please read this following email that I have asked parents to post on WeChat and other forums to help clear up some confusion and disappointment as folks who are not members try to vote, and then folks buy memberships expecting to vote in this election:


Dear TJ Parents,

Thank you for your interest in voting in this TJ PTSA election. Only TJ PTSA members may vote in TJ PTSA elections. 

If you would like to join the TJ PTSA please follow the instructions here: https://tjptsa.com/join/

Each membership allows one vote. Students can also vote if they purchase a student membership and their email address is in AtoZ, and the membership was assigned to them.

Please note that the registered voters list is locked at the start of each election, so even if you join today you won’t be able to vote in this election, but you will be able to vote in future elections and surveys, including the May election of TJ PTSA EC Officers.

We hope you would join the PTSA just to support the good work we do for the students, teachers, and parents.

If you had purchased a TJ PTSA membership before February 22, 2021 and have not received an email with voting instructions from tellers@tjptsa.org (look in your spam/junk folders) then please email tellers@tjptsa.org from the email address you registered in AtoZ Connect and I will help you vote. 

This election closes tonight at 11pm.

Sincerely,

Nick Costescu, TJ PTSA President


UPDATE 2021-02-25 8:49pm: 15% of our 800 some registered voters have voted. Please vote!

UPDATE 2021-02-24 12:49pm: So far 10% of our 800 some registered voters have voted. This is your opportunity to help shape next year’s EC. Please vote! Links were sent out to all PTSA members. Email the president if you were a member as of 2/22/2021 and didn’t get a link to vote (but first check your spam and other email folders).

UPDATE 2021-02-23 5:57pm: A few folks are having problems with the email verification. I can see when that happens and I’ve been sending out custom links individually. Please use that link to finish your ballet if you had a problem with VerifyMe.

All TJ PTSA members (as of 2021-02-21) can vote in this election. We are electing our 5 member Nominating Committee. These 5 volunteers will interview applicants for next year’s Executive Committee Officers and recommend a slate with the top candidate for each position.

For more info on what the Nominating Committee does, see this post.

An email with a link to the ballot has been sent to all TJ PTSA members. If you are a 2020-21 member and have not received a ballot please email tellers@tjptsa.org.

Please check back with this post for updates.
