WHY JOIN OSE PTA? 

What is PTA? Why join PTA? The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Association is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school.  OSE PTA is dedicated to making every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. To do this our goal is to have every adult connected to OSE be a member of PTA.  

WHY SHOULD MY SPOUSE JOIN PTA AS WELL? WHY DO WE NEED TWO PTA MEMBERSHIPS?

Being a member of PTA shows your child that you are involved in and care about his/her education.  PTA is the largest child advocacy association in the nation. Over 500,000 parents, educators, students and community members join hands across Texas. When both parents and even grandparents join - it increases our number of members and increases our voice in Austin as we lobby for children and education at the state and national level. The actions of legislative bodies can have a profound effect on the education and well-being of children, and Texas PTA serves as the voice for Texas children in many legislative endeavors.

 

Texas PTA supports legislation that improves health, well-being and educational opportunities for every child. Members of our Texas legislature have stated that without the support of Texas PTA and local PTAs across Texas, HB5 that reduces the number of end-of-year tests that High School students must take and pass to graduate would not have passed.  Successful implementation of our legislative positions is characterized by people working together to assure wise legislative decisions through knowledge of the process and an understanding of the issues.
