Historical List of Retired Resolutions
Since first gathering in Chautauqua, NY, in 1897, New York State PTA members have addressed issues that affect the education, health and safety of children and youth. PTA advocacy efforts have been enabled through the adoption of thousands of resolutions. Among these we have established positions supporting physical education in schools, childhood immunization, good nutrition and healthy school meals, public libraries, comprehensive health education and prevention programs, voting rights, juvenile justice, fair housing, educational equity and teacher quality, inclusive special education, parent involvement, graduated licensing and media and internet safety.
Our members have spent countless hours reaching out to decision-makers in order to influence policy, regulation and laws that will ensure access for all children and youth to education, social and civic opportunities that will develop a strong and sustainable democratic citizenry. It is vital that we both continue efforts that have not yet been realized AND celebrate the success of those that have been achieved. By maintaining a record of historical resolutions that have been retired due to relevancy or achievement, we acknowledge a legacy of New York State PTA advocacy and commitment to children through the contributions of our founding members, and each and every member to follow.
