Extractions: Main I added a new Category (Scroll Down the left side of the Page) called "Letters to the Editor." These will contain model text that you can play with and customize when you get active. Here are links to MANY ILLINOIS PRESS OUTLETS This one was submitted by Ned, from the east coast. The issues are the same everywhere. To the editor: Want to change the public schools? You face a struggle. The system is bureaucratic and has many conflicting interests. Government school is a network of interconnecting agencies in which no one is truly responsible or accountable. No one is actually in charge; therefore, the employees will not even discuss a change with anyone outside the system. So, you must present your idea to the local school board (which is actually an agency of the State, not the town) whose members are beholden to political parties and unions, not to residents. Board members are often confused by the mountain of regulations under which the schools operate. Also, your proposal will threaten their authority, so even if they see its value, they do not like to admit mistakes, let alone correct them.
The PTA Goes Kaput Given the way ptas are governed, it is virtually impossible for parents to dissent The PTA criticizes ptos On the grounds that they don t fund national http://www.educationpolicy.org/files/PTAkaput.htm
Extractions: by Charlene K. Haar, EPI President This year, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, commonly known as the PTA, is celebrating its centennial. But the national PTA has little to cheer about. Fewer than a quarter of America's public schools have active PTA chapters, and officially, PTA membership has fallen from a peak of 12 million in 1966 to 6.5 million today. PTA leaders offer many reasons why their rolls are declining. But they have done little to address the PTA's gravest problemits subservience to the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Throughout its history, the PTA has supported higher salaries and better working conditions for teachers. But in 1968, the teacher members of the PTA threatened to withdraw membership and boycott the PTA if the PTAs supported school boards in teacher strikes. Thereupon, the PTA rolled over and adopted a position of "neutrality" on teacher strikes as well as the issues negotiated in union contracts, such as class size, the annual number of parent-teacher conferences, and how parental grievances are resolved. "Neutrality" on these important issues is a big setback for parents: When school boards sacrifice parent interests to teacher interests, as often happens, the PTA does not object. As millions of parents dropped out of the PTA, those who remained tended to be pro-union or unaware of the PTA's pro-union positions. And so the PTA has gradually evolved into a front for the teachers' unions. Consider these recent issues:
Beyond Bake Sales In Florida, about 26 percent of the schools have ptas. These ptos strongly encourage parents to become active participants in educational http://www.educationpolicy.org/files/bakesales.htm
Extractions: by Charlene K. Haar, EPI President Hardly a week goes by without another article encouraging parental involvement in education accompanied by a poll showing the benefits of having parents active in their child's education. Busy parents have long been engaged in volunteer work within classrooms, extra-curricular activities, on school playgrounds, and at home. Today, however, parents who are contributing more time and money feel like they are resources to be tapped rather than major stakeholders in the system. Parents are turning to traditional parent-teacher groups for help. The question is: What kind of help can they expect? The century old National Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA), has been a long-time proponent of parental involvement. The PTA has local affiliates in slightly over one-fifth of the K-12 schools in the United States. In Florida, about 26 percent of the schools have PTAs. However, all is not well with the PTA. At the PTA's national convention in Kansas City, Missouri, last June, most states reported no membership increases, while many states reported membership losses. Some states, like Indiana, have seen significant dropout rates. In 1994, the Indiana PTA lost 3,384 members and at least 9,000 members quit in 1996. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this decline.
Untitled Document The line has definitely been moving, as ptos are being asked to An elementary school PTA in indiana put their fundraising dollars to good use over the http://www.afrds.org/edge_2004_fall.html
Extractions: Fundraising Gone Wild! How much is too much? Recent research indicates that 71% of parents are concerned and overwhelmed with having to do more fundraising. Not only are schools running multiple programs each year, parents are also tapped by the local little league, football teams, Girl Scouts, and so forth. Parents and kids are simply burned out on the subject. Naturally, concerned parents who question why they need to do more also will want to know what they are doing it for. Kukta advises organizations to concentrate on the fundraiser that makes the most money for the school. To return participation to effective levels, fundraising experts recommend that organizations considering schoolwide programs forego adding too many fundraisers to the calendar. PTAs, PTOs, parents and faculty need to talk to each other and work together to deliver a common fundraising program that accomplishes a worthwhile goal.

Here's how you can join the club. By GreatSchools.net Staff If you picture the PTA as just a small crew of moms who meet now and then to plan bake sales, you may be in for a big surprise. The Parent Teacher Association, or PTA , is a huge and very influential nationwide organization with state and local affiliates throughout the country. The national PTA is headquartered in Chicago and promotes parent involvement in school communities. It is also a powerful lobbying organization in state legislatures and in Washington, D.C., advocating on behalf of students and schools. PTA vs. PTO

Extractions: Send a Letter to the Editor Since the publication of "A Nation at Risk" in 1983, Americans have become increasingly alarmed about the dismal results and soaring costs of their public schools. No group of citizens has a closer view of these problems or a more immediate stake in addressing them than the parents of the country's 48 million schoolchildren. Here and there, parents have won minor battles to influence curricula or oust mediocre school-board members. But as individuals, parents are no match for the forces that favor the status quo. The mission of the PTA has always been to "work on behalf of the best interests of all children on issues that affect their health, education, and welfare" and "to encourage parent involvement." With almost seven million members, the PTA offers great potential for promoting parental involvement in the educational welfare of children. But in the 1990s, that mission requires of the PTA something it has been unwilling to do: demand accountability for performance and spending at every level of the educational system. Local Control Decades ago, parents had significant influence over their neighborhood schools. Over the years, however, school districts consolidated, teachers and administrators came to see themselves as credentialed professionals, and state laws standardized educational practices and curricula. Today, many parents are less likely to get involved in their children's educational environment. Nevertheless, the impetus for reform will have to come from parents active at the grass roots.
