MOPTA Legislative Priorities
Each year the Missouri PTA Department of Legislation & Advocacy develops a set of priorities that are expected to be addressed in the upcoming Missouri Legislative session. As unexpected issues emerge, Missouri PTA will act in accordance with the Resolutions and Position Statements that have been approved by the membership.
The National PTA Online Advocacy Toolkit includes information on how a bill becomes a law, working with the media, Federal appropriations and much more.
The National PTA newsroom is a great source for current PTA articles and press releases. This is a great site to find articles for your own local newsletters and correspondences.
