Research Papers Family Policy Councils State Councils Legislative Action Contact Your Legislator Archives Teachers in Focus Last Updated May 18, 1998 Does the PTA Still Support Parents? Troubling Changes Within the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Dear Dr. Dobson: Last year, I was the president of our school’s PTA so I received numerous publications from the National PTA office. Some of these publications concerned me, especially the ones regarding PTA’s legislative agenda. Since I did not agree with the PTA regarding much of the legislation, I decided to share this information with other members of our group. To make a long story short, we voted at our last meeting to withdraw from the PTA and form an independent organization to promote parent involvement at our school. I feel that while the PTA promotes many good programs and causes, they have been promoting too many ideas that I disagree with to remain a member. Maybe there are other Christians who would feel the same way if they had more information. As this parent learned, today’s PTA is involved in much more than merely helping parents raise money for their local school. It is heavily involved in promoting a controversial legislative agenda. One would think that the PTA would be a natural ally of parents in efforts to shift the power in education from the establishment bureaucracy to parents. Sadly, instead of advocating for parents, the PTA has actually become a handmaiden of the nation’s largest teachers’ union, the National Education Association (NEA). As Charlene Haar, president of the Education Policy Institute and author of

The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments.

The Edina Fund for School Innovation grew out of community concern that funding from public sources would not be sufficient to cover the rising costs of education, endangering Edina's long tradition of quality, challenging curriculum. The concept of the Edina Fund for School Innovation began in 1992 as a joint initiative between concerned community members and Edina Community Education Services. Since its first year of active fundraising in 1995, the Edina Fund for School Innovation has raised more than $725,000. Technology The Edina Fund for School Innovation's initial activities focused on updating and improving the technology available to Edina students. The original goal was to put a computer in very classroom a goal that would likely have taken the Edina Fund for School Innovation nearly ten years to accomplish. While the campaign raised money, it also raised the community's awareness of this critical need for the school district to keep pace with innovations in technology that expand our students' knowledge and skills. With the Edina Fund for School Innovation's successful efforts in leading this initiative, Edina residents parents and non-parents alike passed the technology funding referendum in May 1998.
