Advocating for School Funding with an Equity Lens

What do families know about school funding? What areas do they feel are adequately or inadequately funded? And what are the implications of this for PTA leaders’ work advocating for all children? National PTA partnered with council PTAs and talked with more than 150 parents to answer these questions and more. Join us for a presentation of our findings and to hear directly from PTA leaders, about their experiences advocating on issues related to school funding.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Tools to Turn Your Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion into Action

Start your DEI journey in three steps! First, complete the diversity profile which asks you to reflect on who in your community is represented in the PTA and who is missing. Second, reach out and start talking with your community. The facilitator’s guide empowers leaders to start conversations with people who they have struggled to engage. Third, use the DEI action plan template to develop steps to become more inclusive.
