  • During the past 120 years, PTA’s national advocacy has helped establish universal kindergarten, the National School Lunch Program, the juvenile justice system, and anti-child labor laws.
  • PTAs are an important advocate at the local and state levels – from the Florida PTA defeating for-profit school management companies to the Washington State PTA securing the passage of an education reform bill that redefined the state’s “Program of Basic Education.”
