2009 National PTA Federal Public Policy Agenda

Each year National PTA publishes a public policy agenda that outlines policy priorities and recommendations for Congress. The priorities are selected based on the following criteria: timeliness of issue (is it being considered before Congress and the Administration), opportunities for National PTA to provide leadership and expertise to Congress, alignment to National PTA’s mission and resolutions, and ability to achieve a meaningful policy change that will produce positive results for children and their families.

The 2009 Public Policy Agenda focuses on three key priorities:

• Parent engagement in education
• Equity and opportunity for all children
• Child health.
