There was also a central body with representatives from individual school PTAs called the Council of PTAs. They had were part of a similar group for the commonwealth of Virginia. Generally, the records reflect efforts to raise money (through social events and other activities) in order to provide equipment and library books for the schools. The PTAs also promoted health and safety and attractive school surroundings.
