Extractions: e-mail this story to a friend write a letter to the editor (oped@csps.com) In your June 4 editorial "Rethinking Parent-Teacher Ties," you questioned the relevance of PTA to parents and children, suggested that the National PTA's request for a $1 dues increase was too much, and reported that many parents and PTAs are considering converting to PTOs (parent-teacher-organizations). National PTA has been advocating for the health, welfare, and education of all of America's children for more than 100 years. PTA lobbyists in our nation's capital work closely with elected officials to develop and support legislation to improve the lives of children. My state PTA organization is also a major force in passing effective legislation. Recent laws include a graduated drivers license for teens, stricter traffic penalties in school zones, and pesticide-use notification to schools and communities. Our full-time lobbyist is currently working very hard to help us pass anti-bullying legislation. People looking toward PTOs and away from PTA often do not understand the global need to advocatefor children beyond their communities, or realize that for a small fee ($7 to $10 in our state) each year, they can help affect positive change for children through PTA's parent-involvement and legislative programs. That's not too much to ask, when you consider that the future of our nation will soon be in their hands.

Williams or a caring adult from one of the 41 participating volunteer organizations. Festivities continued with a spaghetti supper and a student production of "Green Eggs to Hamlet Rap." (1998) Senator Charles Robb cut a ribbon at the new Mt. Vernon Elementary School in Alexandria and then read to classes of students at the school. A reading night was held at Maury Elementary featuring a presentation of "the Star-Bellied Sneeches," green eggs and ham, creating bookmarks and a Dr. Seuss mural, story readings and a book raffle. (1999) U.S. Senator Charles Robb cut the ribbon opening the Dr. Seuss Reading Room at Alexandria's Mount Vernon Elementary School on March 2 and then became the room's first guest reader. Parents and volunteers read with students in classes and small groups. The kindergarten breakfast menu offered green eggs and ham. Reading competitions lead to eight classes being chosen to ring the school bell and be shown on television. A March 13 celebration will provide bells, certificates and bookmarks for children who reach their reading goals. (2000)
Extractions: New England Comprehensive Assistance Center Parent Involvement In today's world, it is not always easy for parents, especially single parents, to find time and energy to get involved in their children's education. However, when parents become involved, both children and parents are benefit. Researchers report that parent participation enhances children's self-esteem, improves their academic achievement, improves parent-child relationships, and helps parents develop positive attitudes towards school. Two Types of Involvement One kind of parental involvement is school-based. It centers around school activities such as attending parent-teacher conferences and school functions, volunteering at the school, receiving and responding to written communications from the teacher, and encouraging parents to join Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) or Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs). Many schools try to make it easier for working parents to participate in school-based activities by scheduling conferences and school events at different times of the day. A second type of involvement focuses on parent-child interaction at home. Home-based activities allow parents flexibility in scheduling, provide opportunities for parents and children to spend time together, and offer a relaxed setting. The most beneficial home activities are deceptively simple. Many parents do not realize that when they involve children in day-to-day activities such as a trip to the gas station or grocery store, they can provide opportunities for learning. For example, although watching TV is viewed as noneducational, joint TV viewing can become educational if parents and children discuss what they saw.

The greatest challenge I have faced has been carrying out the responsibilities of this office while holding a full-time job in an elementary school. I have spent most of my days meeting the requirements of my job and long nights and sometimes many days away from my job meeting my responsibilities as President of the VA PTA. This was made somewhat easier for me as I had a Superintendent who believed in providing professional leave time in order that I might travel across the state as President of the VA PTA while also serving as an ambassador for public schools. And yet it has all been worthwhile for during these past two years, I feel we have made a difference for children. - You may ask how have we made a difference?
Extractions: Search Rethinking Schools Help Home Archives Volume 17 No. 3- Spring 2003 'A Ghetto Within a Ghetto' -photo: Jean-Claude Lejeune Spring 2003 By Joel McNally The disproportionate placement of African-American males into special education classes has created a "a ghetto within a ghetto," says Gary Orfield, co-director of Harvard University's Civil Rights Project. Orfield says that this racial disparity makes it less likely that black students receive high school diplomas, less likely they will be employed after leaving school, and more likely they will end up in the criminal justice system. "This is segregation within segregation," Orfield said. "For a lot of these kids, this is a direct path to jail. It becomes an irreversible punishment in these kids' lives. This is taking a bad problem and putting it inside another even worse problem. It's just unconscionable." Orfield is co-editor with Daniel Losen of the newly published Racial Inequity in Special Education

Council offers Moynihan settlement for alleged violation of campaign finance law The City Council is offering Councilmember Bryant Moynihan a chance to settle out of court a complaint that he violated the city's campaign finance ordinance. The ordinance does not define "candidate." Moynihan has contended that because he had already won election, and has not declared any plans of running again in 2004 he is no longer a candidate. According to the city hall source, Steven Churchwell, the attorney Rudnansky hired to look into Cartwright's complaints has advised the council that in the absence of a definition in the ordinance, the definition contained in the California Political Reform Act applies. Under that act, anyone who is accepting contributions through a political committee is a candidate. A majority of the current council has indicated it wants to amend the ordinance. That may occur at the Oct. 15 council meeting.

In districts such as Appleton, Waukesha and Whitefish Bay, PTAs and PTOs have reduced the ways they squeeze cash from neighbors and co-workers, sometimes even limiting what they will buy for their schools. Banting Elementary School in Waukesha eliminated all of its fund-raisers except for an annual run, and a Whitefish Bay school shelved its Tupperware sale.

They raise money through dances, golf tournaments, cookbooks and, yes, even pig-kissing contests. They're your local PTA-Parent Teacher Association-and, to almost anyone you stop on the street, they're as American as apple pie. At least that's what Glenna Williamson thought. Williamson, a mother of three from Dodge City, Kan., was concerned about a lack of playground equipment (the district couldn't afford what many parents wanted) and safety (kids would have to cross a major thoroughfare, without a crosswalk, to get to school). What better way to address these issues than to join the PTA? So she did and eventually became president of her school's chapter. But then Williamson learned about a whole new side of the PTA-its politics.

Extractions: Making Schools Work Better for All Children CER News Alert The National PTA: Not your mother's parent group? (June 19, 2001) The concerns of parents over the quality of education being delivered to their children have grown overwhelmingly since hard data became available about our nation's schools in the mid-1980s. Far from content with the state of American education, parents became frustrated by a decline in quality and a lack of responsiveness to their concerns by traditional education leaders. Once they would have flocked to the PTA. But over the years, the PTA has increasingly become a group targeted to endorse school policy, rather than an outlet for school improvement and parent demands. Not convinced? As the National PTA convenes this weekend in Baltimore, The Center For Education Reform has assembled some questions to help parents, media representatives and policy makers decide exactly how the PTA contributes to improving our nation's schools. 1) 1. What is your response to presidential candidates who support increasing the number of charter schools? 2) The National PTA opposes allowing states and localities to decide how best to spend scarce federal funds to meet the needs of their students. How many parents were consulted on this policy position and how was it decided?
