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.

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. Parents' most promising forum to agitate for reform and hold their local educators accountable for failure already exists: the venerated National Congress of Parents and Teachers, commonly known as the PTA. Unfortunately, parents cannot count on either their local PTA or its national leadership to advance parental interests or even air diverse viewpoints. As it operates today, the PTA is useless to parents who want to play a meaningful role in educational reform. 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.

SISD - Appendix A - Community Comments heads of key organizations within SISD (such as ptas and ptos), former board members, The north Hill driver is good; the kids love him. http://www.window.state.tx.us/tpr/tspr/sisd/app_a.1.html
Extractions: This appendix summarizes comments from two community forums held at Spring and Westfield high schools, interviews with key area civic and business representatives, and focus-group meetings with various civic, business, and community organizations. These comments are presented to illustrate community perceptions of the Spring Independent School District (SISD) and do not necessarily reflect the findings or opinions of the review team. METHODOLOGY The community forums were open meetings held from 3:00-5:00 pm and 6:00-8:00 pm at each of the high schools. People were asked to share their comments about SISD by writing on tablets dispersed around the cafeteria in each school. Each tablet represented one of the chapters of this report. Interviews were held with individuals identified as community leaders, heads of key organizations within SISD (such as PTAs and PTOs), former board members, business leaders, and civic leaders representing various interest groups. The focus groups were assembled using input from SISD staff regarding key community organizations, and included members of minority organizations and business, religious, and civic groups as well as teachers and students. The focus groups were asked to provide comments on each area represented in this report as well as any general comments on SISD.
