PTSA
Parent-teacher-student group
PTSA stands for Parent-Teacher-Student Association, a school organization that includes students alongside parents and teachers in planning activities, fundraising, and advocating for educational improvements.
The addition of students distinguishes it from the older PTA model: The PTSA meets monthly to discuss school policies.
