How many Orange <br />County residents <br />does the organization <br />serve? <br />359 students and 77 staff, for a total of 436 <br />Has your <br />organization <br />undergone any <br />Diversity, Equity, and <br />Inclusion (DEI) <br />training? If so, <br />please explain. If not, <br />please explain any <br />barriers that have <br />prevented you from <br />receiving this <br />training. <br />W e will continue our PTA equity and inclusion initiative during the next <br />academic year, via our participation in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion <br />(DEI) committee that is led by our school administration. Our PTA goals are <br />to diversify our membership and board, provide DEI training, and create <br />more equitable PTA programs. For example, this year the PTA introduced <br />and funded a “True Book Fair” which allowed each student to choose two <br />new books for free, replacing the traditional book fair in which students <br />supplied their own funds. W e continue to work with our school social <br />worker and mental health specialists to identify relevant programming our <br />PTA can help implement with a DEI focus. This coming year we are also <br />working closely with other PTAs in our district to collaborate on DEI <br />focused programs and initiatives. <br />Our goal was to offer DEI training for the PTA this school year, but we did <br />not have the resources to implement a formal program, and instead learned <br />via our working relationships with the district’s DEI resources. In the 2024- <br />25 school year, we plan to partner with the NC PTA to offer online DEI <br />training for members on a voluntary basis. <br />During FY24-25, will <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />No <br />Organization's EIN 560340503.0 <br />Organization <br />W ebsite <br />https://sites.google.com/view/estes-hills-pta <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Name <br />Elizabeth Kalies <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Title <br />PTA Cultural Enrichment Program Chair <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Phone <br />919-357-6310 <br />Authorizing Official's <br />Email <br />ekalies@gmail.com <br />Applicant Race W hite <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 29D07BFE-C479-466C-8F7C-D1E51121B1FE
