Why We Need a PTA

Shrinking budgets
Curriculum cuts
Increasing class sizes
Government mandates
The challenges of delivering quality education are daunting, to say the least. There is help.  It's the PTA.

PTA can benefit EVERYONE. PTA addresses issues that are important to public school administrators and parents. We fight for the same thing—full funding, quality teachers, capabilities for schools to thrive. Membership is open to everyone.  You can be as involved as you want to be!

Still need convincing? Here are just some of PTA's benefits.

• Leverage Volunteer Power.   PTA organizes hard-working and dedicated volunteers. Parents are ready and willing to help implement school improvement programs. All you need to do is ask and give a little direction.
• Improve Communication.   Frequently, one of a PTA's responsibilities is coordinating production of a school newsletter and information fliers, keeping the entire school community informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. In addition, regularly scheduled meetings are an opportunity for you to share information with other members. 
• See Measurable Results.   More than 85 rigorous academic research studies conducted through over 30 years of research prove that kids do better when parents are involved. Grades are higher. Test scores improve. Attendance increases.
