National PTA's priorities complement PTA's mission of advocating
for services and policies that benefit children, educating parents
to be advocates for their children, and engaging community members
in support of public education.
Parent Involvement
Studies continue to show that regardless of the economic, ethnic,
or cultural background, parent involvement in a child’s education
is a major factor in determining success in school.
Safe and Nurturing Environments
National PTA supports initiatives that foster a safe and supportive
school climate, including violence prevention measures, delinquency
prevention initiatives, class-size reduction efforts, counseling
programs, and health and welfare reforms that meet the needs of
underserved children and families.
Support for Public Education
Strengthen public education for our nation's children through advocacy
and promotion, and engaging community members in support of public
education.
