The PTA External Affairs Committee represents PS 9 and its families
within District 3 and the community at large. Our mission is to stay
informed on issues affecting District 3 schools (and schools
citywide), to protect our school's best interests, and to disseminate
information to PS 9 families.
This committee works with PTA executive board, PS 9 administration,
Community Education Council, Community Board 7, District 3 Presidents'
Council and the elected officials representing our community. New
members are always welcome!
