February 2023: We are pleased to announce that we have completed negotiations for our July 2022 - June 2025 contract. We will be meeting with members at a General Membership meeting on Wednesday, February 15, 4 pm. Check your email for the zoom link. We are looking forward to meeting with our members to share the details.

If you are looking for the forms to complete PFT's Gary Ravani Memorial Scholarship
 is available annually for senior students of active PFT Members, and is awarded by the Petaluma Educational Foundation at their May event. You can download the application for the Class of 2023 graduates here.

Sandra Larsen, our PFT President, retired from teaching in her classroom this past spring, but we are fortunate to have her continuing to serve as our president. We are currently in negotiations to secure a new three-year contract for July 2022 through June 2025. Todd Siders (CGHS) is our Chief Negotiator, and our PFT team is working from the input they received during last year's Sunshine Survey process. We will keep you updated on new developments as they occur. Make sure you check your personal email to stay informed.

In Unity,
​Your PFT Leadership
