Individuals, including employers, officers, and directors of

candidates and send out election information, as long as they do
not use their official PTA title or position, do not mention PTA

a possibility that the aforementioned activities may be
associated with the PTA, disclaimers or other statements may be
necessary.
As a 501(c)3 association, we adhere to the guidelines set forth
for our association. Individuals have every right to support and
campaign for candidates of their choice. Voting records of

Kansas PTA Advocacy Brochure
As
the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation,
Parent Teacher Association (PTA) reminds our country of its
obligations to children and provides parents and families with a
powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing
the best tools for parents to help their children be successful
students.
PTA was created to meet
a profound challenge: to better the lives of children. And
today, it continues to flourish because PTA has never lost sight
of its goal: to change the lives of children across our great
nation for the better.
PTA does not act alone.
Working in cooperation with many national education, health,
safety, and child advocacy groups and federal agencies, the
national PTA organization collaborates on projects that benefit
children and that bring valuable resources to its members.
Kansas PTA was founded
in 1914 and has been working since that date for a quality
education and the health, safety and well being of each and
every child in Kansas. We encourage dads, grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and community members to join us in our work for all
children. Our current issues are to support the Common Core
Standards Initiative, programs including - Million Hours of
Power, Three for Me, MORE, Healthy Lifestyles, Family Engagement
in Education and incorporating the PTA National Standards into
Kansas education. We invite you to become a member of Kansas PTA
and to become a part of our advocacy efforts for each and every
child!
