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.
Early Childhood PTAs
Preschool groups often round up parents
from several neighborhoods and various early-childhood programs.
They involve child-care providers, grandparents, and others
concerned with the education and development of children from
birth to age five.
Elementary/Middle School PTAs
PTAs serve as a type of forum where
parents, teachers, administrators, and other concerned adults
discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the
arts, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy
environment and safe neighborhoods.
Parent-Teacher-Student Associations
PTSAs actually provide youth members with
the opportunity to make a difference by developing leadership
skills, learning about the legislative process, increasing their
self-esteem, and contributing to the school. In turn, adult
members gain a new perspective for program development, as well
as acquire a better understanding of the youth of today.
Special Education PTAs
National PTA believes that all children
have the right to a quality public education, which allows each
child the opportunity to reach his or her fullest potential.
Special Education PTAs are designed to help parents advocate for
special-needs children.
