Join PTA For Your Child


PTA resolutions and position statements are official documents outlining the opinion, will, or intent of the association to address national problems, situations, or concerns that affect children and youth and require national action to seek resolution on the issue.

The documents serve an important purpose in formalizing and focusing the positions of the organization on various important and relevant issues.

The below links include instructions and information on the criteria for establishing a resolution in accordance with National PTA procedure. All proposed resolutions must be received at resolutions@pta.org no later than 11:59 PM EST on Oct. 15.
