Sixth District Pta California

What Sixth District Pta California does

Sixth District PTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit regional district of the California State PTA, chartered on February 9, 1916, and headquartered at 1290 Ridder Park Dr., San Jose, California. It coordinates advocacy, leadership training, and recognition programs for approximately 45,000 members across 225 PTA Units organized through 9 Council PTAs, serving families, students, educators, and community leaders in Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties. The organization operates as one of 28 PTA Districts that make up the California State PTA network, which is itself part of the National PTA (founded 1897).

The organization's core offerings include the Reflections Arts Program (covering six categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts), the Barbara Emerich Memorial Scholarship (two $750 awards annually to high school seniors), seven tiers of Honorary Service Awards (priced $25-$85 each), and an extensive curriculum of training resources covering president, treasurer, secretary, parliamentarian, communications, fundraising, and compliance procedures. Revenue is generated through membership dues (each PTA Unit must submit dues for at least 15 members by an October 15 deadline) and contribution-based Honorary Service Award programs, where net proceeds support California State PTA scholarship and grant initiatives.

The go-to-market model is community-led and volunteer-driven: programs are delivered through the hierarchical Council PTA → Unit PTA structure embedded within local school districts, with grassroots engagement across four counties. The 2025-2027 Executive Board is led by President Madhavi Gupta and includes executive vice presidents covering Leadership, Membership, Communications, Programs & Family Engagement, and Compliance & Unit Support. The organization maintains a modest digital presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and email, with the primary operational technology being a Google Sites-hosted website (capta6.org). There is no proprietary technology product, no API, and no AI/ML capability in evidence.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• California State PTA: Parent organization of Sixth District PTA and one of the largest state PTA associations in the U.S. Operates at the state level, providing program frameworks (Reflections, HSA, scholarships), advocacy resources, and training curricula that Sixth District delivers locally to its 225 units.
• National PTA: The nationwide parent-teacher association founded in 1897, of which Sixth District PTA is part via California State PTA. Provides national-level advocacy, program standards (including the Reflections program that Sixth District participates in), and serves as the apex body that evaluates Excellence-level Reflections submissions from Sixth District.

Direct peers

• Third District PTA California: Sister PTA district within California State PTA. Same operating model, programs (Reflections, HSA, scholarships, training), and member-base structure as Sixth District, making it a directly comparable peer for unit-level engagement and revenue.
• First District PTA California: Sister PTA district under California State PTA covering a different geographic region of California. Operates the same district-level model of councils, units, training, and recognition awards, making it a directly comparable peer for benchmarking reach, programs, and engagement.
• Second District PTA California: Another of the 28 PTA districts under California State PTA. Functions as a direct geographic and operational peer, offering the same council/unit structure, Reflections participation, and HSA programs as Sixth District, useful for cross-district comparison of growth and program delivery.
• California PTA Tenth District: Another California State PTA district, providing the same council/unit hierarchical structure, training programs, and Reflections/HSA recognition as Sixth District. A direct operational peer for program benchmarking.

Regional players

• PTA of New York City (Region 9): A large regional PTA structure serving NYC public schools. Comparable in mission (school-based parent advocacy, training, and recognition programs) but operates in a different geography; useful benchmark for dense-urban PTA operations versus Sixth District's four-county California footprint.

Others

• Silicon Valley Education Foundation: A Santa Clara County-based education-focused non-profit supporting student programs, scholarships, and educator innovation. Adjacent to Sixth District's mission of supporting children, families, and schools, but does not run a membership network of unit PTAs.
• YMCA of Silicon Valley: A regional community-based non-profit serving overlapping Bay Area geographies (Santa Clara, San Benito counties) with youth and family programs. Comparable as a non-profit membership/community-engagement organization but focused on fitness/childcare rather than school-based advocacy.

Emerging players

• Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) National: An umbrella support organization for school-based parent groups not affiliated with National PTA. Competes for the same parent volunteer pool and school-engagement mission, but operates as a looser federation rather than Sixth District's hierarchical district-council-unit model.
