National PTA

8/23/2021 9:00 am

• Back to Class Virtual Town Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 1 at 12:00 p.m. CST -- National PTA is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control to host this event, which will be moderated by NBC correspondent Kate Snow and feature the Director of the CDC, U.S. Secretary of Education, as well as experts in mental health and social-emotional well-being and how to address missed instruction from this past year. Watch this special event live on NPTA Facebook page.
• Advocacy -- Action Alert! -- Every school day, nearly 50 million K-12 students and 6 million adults occupy close to 100,000 public school buildings in the United States. In more than 30% of public-school facilities, windows, plumbing and HVAC systems are considered in “fair” or “poor” condition. Given state budget shortfalls and the need for economic recovery, now is the time for the federal government to invest in school infrastructure.  National PTA recently participated in a letter to policymakers advocating for $100 billion in direct grants to improve the nation’s public school facilities, and is asking for help in advocating for schools to be included in infrastructure funding by contacting our Representative and Senator!
