*****NOTES REGARDING CHANGES*****

The South Dakota PTA Bylaws have not been updated since 2012. The updated bylaws from 2015 do not differ from the 2012 version. It is unclear when our bylaws were updated prior to 2012. Bylaws should be reviewed and updated at least every 3-4 years to ensure that they are aligned with the organization. As a constituent association of National PTA, South Dakota PTA bylaws should be reflective of National PTA bylaws, while taking into account our needs and state laws.

During the review of the current bylaws, it was determined that an overhaul was in need. To that end, National PTA Bylaws, our current bylaws, South Dakota Codified Laws, and South Dakota PTA's curent practices & needs and our immediate future needs, were considered and incorporated. It is the SD PTA's Board of Directors hope that these proposed bylaws will offer clarity and guidance moving forward. 

If you have any questions or concerns, prior to the meeting on August 31st, please feel free to text Megan Snyder at 706.844.6369.
