| What is the PTA's legislative purpose?
The PTA's mission is to support and speak on behalf of children and
youth in schools, in the community and before governmental bodies and
other organizations that make decisions affecting children, and to
encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of our
nation. The goal of the PTA Legislative chair is to inform the
local PTA as to local, district, state and national legislative issues
of importance to children; to motivate members to take action on issues
of importance to children; to communicate to the IL PTA any concerns or
requests from the local PTA; and to advocate to local, state and federal
legislative decision-makers on issues of importance to children.
National and Illinois PTA have official positions, called
Resolutions, on many issues affecting children and education.
Local PTAs are free to form their own locally oriented Resolutions,
as long as they do not conflict with the National and Illinois PTA
Resolutions. PTA encourages its members to advocate for children
to their elected representatives on issues of importance to children.
