When to contact District PTA or California State PTA for support. Why This Matters: The safety and well-being of ALL students is our highest priority. As trusted partners in our school communities, PTAs play a vital role in supporting families, amplifying important messages, and connecting school districts with the communities they serve. This session will equip you with practical tools, templates, and clear guidance to fulfill PTA’s mission to positively impact the lives of all children and families during this critical time.
Amplify Our Message: California State PTA will release a statement on safe schools this week. We hope you will share and amplify it far and wide through your newsletters, social media, and communications with your school communities. Together, our unified voice will be stronger. Resources Available Now: Complete guidance materials, templates, and resources are available in English at capta.org/focus-areas/advocacy/safe-schools. Spanish language resources will be provided as soon as possible. This webinar is your opportunity to ask questions, discuss implementation strategies, and connect with other PTA leaders navigating these challenges.
Register! This webinar is recommended for all presidents and legislative or advocacy officers/chairs. To facilitate full and open discussion, this webinar will not be recorded.
Thank you for your leadership in supporting ALL children and families in our schools.

from Green Schools Coalition: As our new school year is underway, we wanted to reach out to those of you that shared interest in our newly formed LAUSD Green Schools Coalition. We are excited that many folks who are active environmental advocates in various communities are wanting to participate with our organization as well. The more participants we have, offering their experience and knowledge, the more useful the group will be for all.

We have scheduled our first meeting of the school year for Oct. 7th, 7pm, online. Email:[email protected]

If you have any questions or ideas that you’d like to share, prior to the meeting, please reach out. We hope to see you at the meeting and please invite your school community as well!
