We Believe Equity Drives Our Mission…

With schools facing challenges like shrinking budgets and increasing educational inequity, PTA is more important than ever.

We continually learn and change to reflect an increasingly complex and changing 21st century landscape in which unforeseen crises can affect our children, families and communities.

We seize opportunities to build and share new models and ways of working on behalf of children.

To embody and live this value, PTA volunteers and staff must:

• Champion fair, just and data-informed approaches to children’s educational success, health and well-being.
• Prioritize and advocate for innovative, sustainable solutions that work for a diverse range of children and families, especially those underrepresented and/or marginalized in our communities.
• Persist in the face of challenges and hold ourselves and our partners—including educators and policymakers—accountable
