Mt. View PTA has a new web site, under construction. If you want to see the latest minutes, you can click the "PTA" icon on the left...
Information on this site will not necessarily remain up-to-date since it's not "owned" by Mt. View PTA or run by its Board any longer. However, there's lots of useful archived information and links here. Enjoy!
