MB PTA Council
Manhattan Beach PTA District Advisory Council (DAC)
Who We Are
Manhattan Beach PTA District Advisory Council meets monthly during the school year. Pre-pandemic, meetings were held in the MBUSD Offices at 325 S. Peck Avenue. Currently, meetings are held on Zoom. The Council consists of representatives from MB PTA Leadership, MBUSD Administration and School Board, MBEF and MBX Leadership and City Council. These Representatives come together to collaborate and share ideas on how to maintain and improve the excellence in our schools for all parents, teachers and students in our schools now and for generations to come.
