CKM has an active PTSA to support
programs, projects, and activities that benefit students
and staff school-wide. CKM’s PTSA maintains an active
affiliation with the
California State PTA which entitles
our organization to specific benefits such as low-cost
insurance. Bylaws provide CKM’s PTSA with a governance
structure and guidelines for operation.
The PTSA meets most months during
the school year. All parents, students, teachers,
administrators, and school staff have an open invitation
to attend meetings. Occasionally, guest speakers such as
community representatives, local business owners, and
SCUSD board members attend meetings to present
information or provide updates throughout the year.
Becoming a member
CKM’s PTSA boasts the most members
(more than 400) of any other high school in the district.
Parents, students, teachers, administrators, and school
staff are encouraged to become members.
The PTSA runs a membership campaign
where CKM families, staff, teachers, and students join
to support school-wide projects and programs. Membership
forms are mailed home prior to the start of school and
are available at PTSA meetings and other school events
throughout the year.
Memberships and donations are accepted year-round at
orientation, in the CKM main office PTSA box, or by mail
(to CKM, attn: PTSA). Members are subscribed to
the PTSA e-Blast to receive PTSA meeting notifications
and information via e-mail. Cost of membership is $10.00
for adults, $5.00 for students.
PTSA Programs
The PTSA provides funding and
recruits volunteers for several programs, projects, and
activities that support the CKM school community,
including:

Budget and fundraising
PTSA has a modest annual budget of approximately $5,000.

also support the PTSA through the Raley’s Quality of
Life and the eScrip programs. (See
