- School Representatives -- Each PVUSD school is allotted two voting representatives on the Council and two alternates. UPC Representatives are selected at the school site, typically through the respective Parent Group (if such a group exists). Parent Groups should consult respective bylaws to determine UPC Representative selection protocol. UPC Representation may also be selected by school site leadership (e.g., Principal). Learn about the Role of a UPC Representative.
- General Members -- Any resident of the PVUSD Community may join UPC as a way to show support for the organization; however, voting privileges are not accorded
- Membership is not required to attend UPC meetings. Parents are associated with their member-school and therefore do not need to become general members.
