Advocacy

Legislative Program

The NYS PTA Legislative Program forms our basis for advocacy and is comprised of the following documents: Basic Policy, "Where We Stand", and Legislative Directives. These documents reflect adopted positions that summarize, guide and prioritize member actions to improve laws, regulations, policies and conditions on issues that affect the education, health and welfare of children. Directing advocacy through formalized positions demonstrates our united effort to speak on behalf of every child with one voice. Use the following links to guide your unit, council or region to take action on a local, state or national level.
