  • Each PTA in Louisiana is governed by bylaws based on the standard developed by the state organization.  Bylaws may never be suspended by a Local Unit but may be amended following procedures set by the Louisiana State PTA.  In order to provide guidance for operations in an emergency declared by the federal, state, or local government, the LAPTA Board of Directors has developed and approved Addendum #1.  
  • This addendum is not included in the bylaws template but is considered to be a part of your bylaws.
  • Please post Addendum #1 with your approved Local Unit ByLaws.
