Join the PSE PTA at Texas PTA Rally Day!
We will be advocating on behalf of public education at the Capitol with our fellow PTAs from across Texas on February 24. It's important we turn out so our state leaders can hear how important public education is for Texas and stress the importance of a properly funded public education system.

Advocacy is at the heart of the PTA’s mission, and you represent the voice of Texas parents, students, teachers, and schools. From local campuses to the steps of the Capitol, your efforts drive meaningful change.
Even though the House and Senate will not convene for the next legislative session until January 2025, the Texas PTA Advocacy Committee and Board of Directors start preparing months in advance. We want to hear from YOU about key issues impacting public education and the well-being of children across the state.
Now is your chance to help shape the Texas PTA's legislative priorities for the 89th Session of the Texas Legislature. Please take a few moments to complete this survey by Friday, September 20, 2024. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time.
Mark your calendars for Rally Day in Austin on February 24, 2025.
