Advocacy: The Most Important Role of the PTA
Advocacy is at the heart of the PTA mission. We advocate for our children not just at school level, but at the legislative level as well. For over 125 years, PTA members have used their voice to make changes happen that benefit all children, including lunch during school, advocating for Kindergarten as a grade level in public schools, and so much more. What does advocacy look like right now? National PTA Advocacy, CAPTA Advocacy December Briefing, Fourth District PTA Advocacy Communicator: Education budget cuts are coming. How bad will it be? Legislator Election results for Orange County.
