FAQ

Who does PTA Serve?

PTA is the oldest and largest child advocacy association in America, comprised of over 24,000 local PTAs and 4 million members.  As part of this nationwide network, parents have a voice in decisions that impact children in their individual schools, and at the district, state and national levels.

Why is PTA important?

• PTA bridges the gap between schools and families.

• Children perform better in school when their parents are engaged.

• Over the past 120 years, PTA has helped solve some of the biggest issues facing America’s children.  Many of the structures all children benefit from today—child labor laws, universal kindergarten, the National School Lunch Program, education reforms, and the juvenile justice system—were accomplished as a result of PTA members’ advocacy.
