TJ PTSA General Membership Fee Survey

It has been brought to our attention by the VA PTA that our membership fees are one of the highest in the state, and are the highest in the surrounding area. This is a matter that we are looking into and would like community feedback. Please participate in the two-question survey regarding the PTSA General Membership Fee. Should we reduce the General Membership fee?

Some comparison data:

TJ PTSA Adult Membership $40

Langley PTSA Parent Membership $25

Westfield HS PTSA Adult Membership $20

TJ PTSA Climate Survey

In the spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, we would like to ask parents of the TJ community questions directly from the U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics about their experiences and concerns from the past academic year. The survey intends to measure the strengths of the TJ community-building effort, opportunities we should pursue, and concerns we should address so that we can build the optimum supportive environment for TJ students and families.
