SD Unified Council of PTAs receives $2,000 translation grant

The San Diego Unified Council of PTAs is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $2,000 Outreach Translation Grant from the California State PTA. The Translation Grants are available for a variety of PTA programs and projects such as:

• Translating PTA information and materials including items such as flyers, handouts or website content into other languages
• Translation at PTA meetings, programs and events
• Activities to build and strengthen a PTA's central involvement in its school community
•  Programs to enhance family/ school communications and partnerships
• Activities to encourage and facilitate the engagement of non-English-speaking parents in PTA meetings, programs and events

The San Diego Unified Council of PTAs will use the funding to translate its Officer Survival Guide Booklets into Spanish. These booklets were developed to help school site PTA presidents, treasurers, secretaries and membership unit officers understand their roles and responsibilities.

“We are very excited to receive this funding,” said Council President Barbara Flannery. “The Council is always looking for ways to engage more Spanish-speaking parents in PTA leadership roles at their schools. Having the booklets in Spanish should help these efforts.”
