TELL YOUR STORY

Parents and Educators are the two most powerful voices in our advocacy for a fully funded and supported public education system for our children and ALL the children of Texas. Please join us by sharing your story with us so we can share it with the policymakers making decisions that affect our schools this session.

ISSUES WE CARE ABOUT

The ACPTA automatically falls under the National PTA and Texas PTA, so their priorities are ours. In addition, we've added support for our LGTBQ+ community members. For a full list of our ACPTA legislative priorities, click here.
