Officers

The officers are the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Each position has two people, ideally one from middle school parent and one from high school, acting as a team.

APT Presidents

This team serves as leaders for the APT board, as well as the "face" of the APT and the liaison between the APT and the Executive Director. The Co-Presidents are the primary contact point for those with questions, concerns or information, and they send people to the appropriate person within the organization. They are responsible for communicating issues to the other officers and to the school administration. The Presidents work with other officers to develop agendas for APT meetings. They conduct APT meetings and APT Board meetings.

APT Vice-Presidents

This team acts for the President as necessary, including leading or attending meetings if a President is unable to do so. Contributes to APT long- and short-term planning. Serves as primary coordinator for committees and subcommittees. Recruits the main APT coordinators at the end/beginning of each year and obtains Board approval of recruits. Follows up with coordinators as needed throughout the year. Reports on committee activities to the APT Board.   Top

APT Secretaries

Take notes at all APT meetings and write meeting minutes. Submit minutes to the osa-apt listserve moderator for uploading. Make sure printed copies are available at meetings.

APT Treasurers

Responsible for paying bills, making deposits, event cash handling, bookkeeping, balancing accounts and reporting the financial status of the APT to the APT Board and membership. Works with the Fundraising and Finance Committee on planning and budgeting. (May chair or co-chair that committee if they and the committee wish.)

Directors

While all members of the board are Directors, here we are referring to non-officer voting members who attend meetings, participate in discussions, planning, and decision-making, and contribute as committee members and in other ways as they choose.   Top


Committees

APT Committees are established by the Board to help carry out the mission and goals of the APT. Committees take direction from and make recommendations to the Board. The APT will strive to have cross-emphasis representation on all of its committees, especially those which require school-wide coordination: Fund Development, and Communications and Publicity.

Fund Development

Sets and communicates fundraising plans consistent with the APT's mission, goals, and projected activities. Identifies fundraising opportunities and makes recommendations to the APT board of directors. Coordinates with OSA's institutional development personnel. Establishes subcommittees as necessary to carry out fundraising activities, including writing grant proposals, organizing fundraising events, and managing merchandise. Communicates fundraising progress and issues to the Board. Evaluates the need for a fund donation request and results database, and makes recommendations to the board. The Fund Development Committee will have parent representation from all art emphases in order to facilitate information sharing and coordination, and to avoid duplication of effort.

Education and Enrichment

Facilitates planning and coordination of APT's efforts to enrich and support the in-school and after-school educational experience of OSA students. Responsible for planning and carrying out after school tutoring program. Assists with mechanisms to help students learn about and select post-high school opportunities. Other areas of consideration include library, lunchtime, PE alternatives, TAs, and extracurricular art practice.     Top

Health and Safety

Works with school administration on issues related to health (including sex and drug education), safety in and around the school (including neighborhood safety and law enforcement), and disaster preparedness.

Communications and Publicity

Responsible for both internal and external communications. Sets up procedures for publicizing events with the appropriate media agencies and distributes information to media sources for publication. Works with art emphasis representatives to obtain accurate information and reduce duplication of effort. Evaluates communications needs of the school and of each art emphasis, and makes recommendations for effective sharing of information amongst the art emphases and between the art emphases and the school and the APT.    Top

Volunteer Development and Management

Recruits volunteers as needed for all committees, projects, and activities of the APT that depend on volunteer support and expertise. Follows up when members of the community express interest in volunteering. Establishes and manages a database to help us keep track of and coordinate volunteer activities.

Nominating Committee

Auditing Committee

Helps hire and set the compensation of the auditors (CPAs) that prepare the organization's financial statements, reviews the organization's audited statements, and reports to the board its finding as to whether the financial affairs and financial statements are in order.     Top

Special and Event Committees

Special and event committees are established by the Board for the purpose of planning and carrying out a specific event or other project. Like other committees, special and event committees take direction from and make recommendations to the Board. Special and event committees include the following:

The Board will establish other special and event committees as the need arises.     Top
