The PTA Mission
The National PTA sets the policies and goals that govern each and every level of PTA. The purposes of PTA are as follow:
-To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, place of worship and community.
-To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
-To bring into closer relationship the home and school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.
-To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts to secure for all children and youth the highest advantage in physical, mental, social and spiritual education.
The basic policies and guiding principles which are the same for all levels of PTA, affirm that the organization shall:
1.Be educational. The basic aim is to help parents, teachers and other interested persons gain knowledge of the growth, development and needs of our children.
2.Be non-commercial, nonsectarian and non-partisan. The association shall work with schools to provide quality education for ALL children.
3.Cooperate with other agencies or organizations whose goals are in keeping with the PTA Objects.
4.Support legislation on the basis of issues or principles, not candidates or political parties.
