Booster Clubs (External Parent Organizations)

The Virginia Beach City Public School (VBCPS) division, with its 87 schools and centers, has numerous organizations that work on its behalf but which do not fall directly under its authority. Rather, these organizations are considered to be affiliations of the division and they operate as independent entities.

The Business Manual for Schools and Central Offices refers to organizations affiliated with VBCPS as “external parent organizations.” To provide guidance to organizations affiliated with VBCPS in this way and in conjunction with the various organizations’ state and/or national counterparts, the following guidelines have been established that codify the roles and responsibilities of the affiliated organizations. These affiliated organizations include, but are not limited to, such groups as Parent-Teacher Associations, Athletic Booster Clubs, Band Parents Associations, and Chorus Parents Associations.

Please use the guideline documents below for additional information for organizing and maintaining an External Parent Organization.
