BYLAWS UPDATE NOTICE: The proposed bylaws scheduled for a vote by general membership at the meeting on 21 April 2022 are available here. This bylaws update is needed to align HCCPTA under the new Free State PTA. The default download will likely be as a Google doc, but the underlying Word document has been saved in track changes mode to document all changes from the template. These changes modify the template to effectively match the existing bylaws; a more general allowance for electronic meetings being the only meaningful change.
