National PTA Legislation
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 factors
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,
promotion and engaging community members in support of public education.

Maryland PTA Legislative Platform
The Maryland PTA Legislative Platform is the basis for any action taken on public policy, legislation and regulations affecting the health, education and general welfare of children and youth by Maryland PTA, HCCPTA, or any local PTA.
The Maryland PTA Legislative Platform conforms to the policies and resolutions of National PTA. It is presented for approval by Convention Delegates at the Annual Convention and neither it nor new legislative directives need to be voted on again at the council or local level.

After the Maryland PTA Legislative Platform is approved, each local PTA President will receive a copy to add to their Advocacy & Legislative information. Please provide copies to all your officers and legislative chairperson. |
