Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Council PTA was organized in 1959.  The Council PTA has always enjoyed a close partnership with the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District.  There are six cities within the school district, including Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Farmers Branch, Dallas and Irving.  This Council PTA currently supports 36 PTAs, including 1 early childhood PTAs, 24 elementary PTAs, 6 middle school PTAs, and 5 high school PTSAs:

We provide training, information and services to local PTAs through a variety of communication styles with our local PTA leaders.

As part of Area 16, our Council is affiliated with both the Texas State and National PTAs.
