Advocacy
PTA advocacy is supporting and speaking up for children—in schools, in communities, and before government bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children.
Alexandria PTA Council (PTAC) is committed to supporting advocacy efforts on behalf of Alexandria students and staff.
Examples of advocacy include:
-
Discussing a topic of importance to your school community with ACPS & Alexandria City School Board
-
Hosting an educational event at your school on an issue
-
Providing comments to a school board meeting
-
Working to implement strong family engagement policies
Our recent advocacy efforts:
-
8/17/21: Letter to ACPS School Board: Urging COVID-19 surveillance testing in schools
-
4/13/23: PTAC to City Council regarding the City Manager’s proposed budget for FY 2024
