Toolkit [tool-kit]

A collection of expert skills, knowledge, procedures, and information for a particular topic or activity:
Examples: 1) "I wanted to expand my toolkit with more resources for better control over my projects." 2) "The PTA Presidents shared the informative LAPTA Toolkits with everyone in their PTA units and everyone enjoyed a productive and successful year!"
LAPTA Toolkits
The LAPTA Toolkits are brand new and completely reworked. The first four pages have the index for the entire toolkit. They contain the procedures, details, programs, sample forms, and other helpful information. The individual Toolkit sections are available to download as PDF or Word files. (Download a free alternate program for Microsoft Word at Libre Office.)
