Parent Teacher Association

The Local Parent Teacher Association

The PTA at the local level is linked to the state PTA and National PTA,

forming a nationwide network of members working on behalf of all children

and youth. Because of its connections to the state and National PTAs, the local PTA

is a valuable resource to its school community with (1) access to programs

to benefit children, youth, and their families, and (2) the recognition

and size to influence the formulation of laws, policies, and

practices—education or legislative.

PTA Vision

Making every child's potential a reality.

A powerful voice for all children,

A relevant resource for families and communities, and
