Advocacy

Role of PTA legislation (per Saddleback Valley Council PTA)

​

"As local officers of the largest grassroots child advocacy organization in the state, PTA legislative advocacy chairs are responsible for demonstrating leadership on children’s issues at the local level by educating PTA members, community members and elected officials about PTA’s issues of concern and legislative priorities and goals.

​

The California State PTA takes positions on issues/legislation based on position statements in the  California State PTA Toolkit, California State PTA convention resolutions, California State PTA Legislation Platform and National PTA positions and convention resolutions.

​

The unit, council or district legislative chair provides PTA members with information about PTA positions on current legislation and issues."
