Every state has at least one peak body or council of volunteers that represents all the P&Cs in that state. Not only are they an invaluable source of information for anyone who is involved as a committee member at their local school, but their Facebook pages often have up to the minute educational news that is relevant to anyone with a child at school.
It’s so easy just to click on the link and follow the group in your state, and you may be surprised at what you learn.
