Illinois PTA Advocacy Homepage
Our mission is “to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children“.
We Advance Our Mission By:
-
Collaborating with peer organizations, including Advance Illinois, Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), Illinois Families for Public Schools and others.
-
Promoting programs that improve student outcomes as defined by Standards for Family-School Partnership, including National PTA programs, The GPS Parent Series, and many more.
-
Engaging with elected officials and community leaders by sharing ideas, raising concerns, and advocating for every child.
Where We Stand On Public Policy:
