Extractions: More Taking the Parent out of the National PTA by George A. Clowes, School Reform News, February 2003. Excerpt: "Charlene K. Haar made what she thought was a routine request to the National PTA, the reaction she received was so surprising it piqued the former public school teacher's curiosity to learn more about the century-old Parent-Teacher Association. Instead of a parent organization dedicated to the enhancement of the nation's schools, Haar discovered a group dominated by teacher unions and little attuned to the interests of parents and their children." (PDF) National PTA's Liberal Politics Cost Parental Support , February 2003. This report from the Capital Research Center (CRC) concludes, "The national Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) lost a significant number of members in the last 40 years because of its focus on politics rather than education." What Next For The PTA? Parents Turn Away From The Century-Old Group by Mary Lord, U. S. News and World Report, May 31, 1999: "... When it comes to tackling the larger issues that affect the quality of education, parents are stuck on the sidelines. How do they get to influence the debate over academic standards and school choice? Who speaks for [them]? Not, it seems, the country's most venerated parent group - the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, or PTA. ... [One] reason the PTA is playing hooky on education reform ... may be its cozy relationship with the teachers unions."

Extractions: SUMMER 1995 Inside this Issue School-Based Health Care Assembly Breaks New Ground M ore than 500 people from around the country gathered June 23-25 to establish a national movement to support improved health services for children through school-based health care. The conferenceappropriately titled Breaking New Ground! brought together school-based health care providers, researchers, and advocates for three days of activities in Washington, DC. "This is clearly a historic occasion," said Joy Dryfoos, a long-time leader of school-based health care. "For the first time, the entire school-based health care movement is building a strong organization with the capacity for advocacy, networking, and sharing resources." If the crowd's size and enthusiasm were any indication, the effort promises to be a major success. Conference organizers expected a turnout of 350 people, but they significantly underestimated the desire for this meeting. More than 500 attendees from 42 states and the District of Columbia flocked to Washington for the occasion. Half of the participants were people who work on the front lines of school-based health care250 health center staff and community organizers. The other half reflected interest from all quarters, including educators; health care institutions; private funders; community organizations; and local, state, and federal governments. "It's wonderful to see all this energy collected in one place," said Christel Brellochs, director of the School Health Policy Initiative, which is based at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. "This conference is a catalyst that's going to propel a broad range of players with a lot of common aims to a new level of collaboration."
Effective Advocacy — Parent Network Of Western New York educated on what kind of impact decisions made in washington and Albany can out otherparent groups such as the Special Education ptas, ptas, ptos, Home School http://www.parentnetworkwny.org/news_42.html
Extractions: (April/May 2003) It can be quite easy for parents of children with special needs to become overwhelmed. Trying to prioritize everything from homework to teacher conferences, or from IEP development to soccer practice, can be a taxing venture for even the most energetic of parents. Now, for a number of reasons, some of the protections and services that our children have enjoyed over the years are now being put into question. And, as a parent of a child with special needs, it is imperative that you pay particular attention to the happenings in Washington, D.C., during this budget year. In the past few editions of Special Insights , we have shared information about the No Child Left Behind Act which continues to be shaped and formed, while also this year, Congress will have to reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This comes in conjunction with several other pieces of important legislation that are coming up for reauthorization. To maintain critical services and protections your child needs, it is important that you communicate your concerns to your U.S. Senator and Respresentative, as well as your state Senator and Assemblyperson (if you are unsure who they are, call the League of Women Voters at 884-3550). Advocates, mostly parents of children with special needs, have had to strongly lobby in the past to help ensure that these protections stay in place. It appears to be that time again. Now, parents need to become more educated on what kind of impact decisions made in Washington and Albany can have on their child's educational and vocational programs. Following are some general tips when contacting public officials:

Extractions: Apparently these women cared more about children than the risk of being ostracized for bucking social mores. Clearly they found the job of advocating for children more important than a vote. They believed it was up to moms to take action to eliminate the threats that endangered children. They held their first meeting in Washington DC, expecting only about 200 people. Over 2,000 people showed up, all of whom were committed to children. Educators, laborers, legislators and parents laid the groundwork for identifying problems and devising strategies to solve them.
