"Many schools have Parent Teacher Organizations. As a building administrator in multiple schools, I have experienced various levels of success with these types of organizations. Much of the success is often dependent on the leaders and participants willing to commit the additional time, and often the burden of this falls on a few key parents, willing to give their time over and over again. What isunique about the Roxborough PTIC model is the best practices, templates, training, leadership and framework brought to life by Barbra Chase during my first year a Roxborough Elementary's School Principal.
Over a 5 year period, this structure has allowed the organization to function at an extremely high-level of success, while spreading the work and creativity across the entire community. Honestly, without this structure and the creative genius that initially sparked it, we would not have been able to bring state-of-the-art technology, instructional resources, programs and community activities to our school on an ongoing basis. This organization regularly raises nearly $100K a year for Roxborough, which is nearly four times the typical amount raised by parent Teacher Groups in our area."Karen Brofft, Assistant Superintendent and Former Principal
"School districts throughout Colorado are experiencing severe budgetary cutbacks. Our district is not immune to these cutbacks, and we are expecting that the situation will worsen. At Roxborough Primary & Intermediate School, we have been very lucky to have a Parent Teacher Group that has helped minimize the impact of these cuts to our school. Our PTIC has been a model for the district of a successful Parent Teacher Organization.
The group leverages best practices to facilitate parent involvement and increase fundraising results, raising incredible amounts of money to support our school programs and services. While raising money is one aspect of the organization, the PTIC spends a larger percentage of its time creating memories for all students, their families and the community."Richard Kendall, Principal Roxborough Primary & Intermediate School
