About PTA Council

The District 27 PTA Council was created as an entity to help ensure cooperation and unity among the three school PTAs of District 27 (Hickory Point PTA, Shabonee PTA, and Wood Oaks PTA). The PTA Council provides district-wide programming for students, families, and staff. PTA Council meets monthly with the three school PTAs, school principals, and District 27 District Office staff, including the Superintendent.
