It is our purpose, along with the National PTA, to promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, places of worship and through the community. We aim to raise the standards of home life and advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare and safety of children and youth. We promote the collaboration and engagement of families and educators in the education of children and youth while engaging the public in united efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of all children and youth. Finally, it is our purpose to advocate for fiscal responsibility regarding public tax dollars in public education funding.
