Board Documents
We value transparency and integrity. It is our intention to make every document we produce in the course of business available to the public. The reality of being a volunteer-driven organization is that our website is not always as current as we would like. If there is a document you would like to see and it has not yet been uploaded to our website, please email president at scottsdaleparentcouncil dot org. We will do our best to make our records available for reasonable requests. Find our board documents here.
