The purpose of the PTA Council  Fact Finding Committee is to investigate and bring to PTA's attention educational concerns appropriate to our communities. The committee will be convened by the President only when an issue is approved first by the Presidents' Committee and then by the general consent of the Council. If an issue or charge is so approved, the President appoints a chairperson and each school PTA President appoints a representative to this committee. Members of this committee or member's spouse should NOT be either a member of the school board, an elected official of the Fanwood and Scotch Plains Town Councils or an elected local PTA Officer (Presidents, Council Officers etc.). A committee member may not serve more than two consecutive years. The committee prepares a majority & minority report for the Council in case it has any recommendations. In addition, this information is sent along with any fact sheets to PTA Presidents who will disseminate the information as the situation dictates. The Committee can not take any action or lobby, but reports its findings to the Council.

An example of a Fact Finding Committee in the past was to determine the extent to which local PTAs can and should be involved in negotiations between the Board of Education and the unions representing district staff.
