Advocacy

Your PTA membership with Shawnee Trail Elementary also makes you a member of the Texas PTA and National PTA. Together we form the largest child advocacy group in the nation, and have a powerful voice in government both locally and nationally.  

 

Many of the benefits our children receive today, such as universal kindergarten, the National School Lunch Program, our juvenile justice system, and reduced mandatory state testing were accomplished as a result of PTA's commitment to fight for kids.

 

Currently, the Texas PTA in Austin is pursuing keeping state money in public schools, clarity for laws on cyberbullying, student mental health, and more.
