North Carolina PTA Mission Statement
​
NCPTA’s mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. Read more here.

Help keep all students safe by learning about safe gun storage with simple tips from NC S.A.F.E. More safe storage resources can be found on our Safe Gun Storage Resources site.

WCPSS Meetings & Representation

The School Board Calendar is the best place to find out when and where meetings and other events will take place. For more information about upcoming/past meeting agendas and/or minutes, please see the WCPSS Meetings Listing page.
LPES is in District 9, which is represented at the Wake County Board of Education (BOE) by Tyler Swanson ([email protected]). If you have questions or concerns that you would like represented at a BOE level, Tyler is the person to contact.

You may find that when you go to the polls to vote, you will be voting for the BOE member in another district (i.e., District 8). Some families that are in the LPES school district actually live outside of the BOE District 9. While this is very confusing at times, Tyler Swanson is the representative of LPES and the right person to contact.

For questions about advocacy that you want directed to the LPES PTA, please reach out to [email protected].
