What Does the National PTA Do?

Hi! My name is Leslie and I'm from Tampa, Florida, and on behalf of Expert Village this is all about the PTA. Chapter 14: What does PTA do on a nation level? Not all decisions affecting a child's school happen at the local level, so it has been the mission of national PTA to address the needs of children in every school, every state, and across the entire nation. Even if you are not a member, PTA still works for your child. The national PTA pushes for national education policies and has been a driving force in establishing school lunch programs, after school care, immunization programs, school bus safety, and television rating standards before they came law. Today the PTA's government relations professionals are addressing the importance of parent involvement, safe and nurturing environments, and support for public schools.
