PTA addresses issues that are important to parents and public school administrators. We fight for full funding, quality teachers, and capabilities for schools to thrive. Membership is open to everyone. Your PTA is autonomous but supported by a national structure.
The PTA’s nationwide network provides parents with the forum and tools to collectively influence the decisions that affect children not only at their schools, but also throughout their districts, within their states, and across the nation. This mission is unique to the PTA.
At C.R.E., PTA fills in the gaps where funding is not available by the district. We support the Media Center, special after school programs for students, and make purchases for items the school needs that may otherwise not be covered in the school budget.
This is why becoming an active member is important. You vote on what items you feel are important and what items are not necessary.
