About C-FB Council

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 3 early childhood PTAs, 23 elementary PTAs, 6 middle school PTAs, and 4 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.

General Information

The CFB-ISD Council PTA has aimed high to improve and enrich our many existing programs/projects and to create new ones as needs arise within our council, local units, schools, and community. Preparation/training, inclusiveness, team-building, mentoring, role-modeling, communication, recognition, and effective leadership have been the Council’s goals as we work cooperatively with our school district and our local PTAs to give every child one voice.

Some notable accomplishments include: Understanding Diversity workshops and development of a multi-language PTA brochure/membership form; President Lunch & Share sessions; Nominating Committee/Elections Workshop; Chairman/Officer Training; Used Book Sale; Vendor & Program Fair; Clothes Closet; Education Adequacy Committee; annual Principal and PTA President Luncheon; and a new website.
