NYS PTA Cooperating Partners
NYS PTA attends meetings and participates in advocacy efforts of the following organizations. We will provide support in the form of letters and other forms of communication; by co-signing on coalition letters and press releases; collaborating on position papers, joint studies, or informational publications; participating in press conferences, projects, or other events; and placing notices in NYS PTA publications encouraging PTA members to support and participate in partners' activities. All issues and activities must be consistent with the official positions of the NYS PTA.
