The mission of the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts PTSA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families through volunteerism, education, communication, and advocacy.
The PTSA sponsors many community events from campus beautification to monthly talks on subjects vital for families and students, often with featured guest speakers. The PTSA also provides information on current local, state, and national initiatives.
All are welcome to participate in PTSA activities, but only PTSA members are eligible to vote at PTSA meetings or elections. An Executive Board is elected annually and may serve for up to two years in a single Board position. All officers are volunteers, and represent Asawa SOTA at 2nd District PTA meetings.
The PTSA is a 501(c)3 non profit which has been a presence on the Asawa SOTA campus since 1989. It is governed by the most current by-laws, renewed and filed with the California State PTA. Revenue sources consist of membership dues, donations, and merchandise sales. All financial information is public and voted on at every General Assembly meeting in an open forum.
