PTA Advocacy for Children
Established in 1897, PTA is
the oldest and largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the
United States. Since its founding, the National PTA and its state
branches, districts, councils and local units have played an integral
role in establishing, maintaining and safeguarding programs and policies
that promote the health, safety, nutrition, welfare, protection and
education of children.
Thank you to all, Parents, Teachers and community members who have
joined Del Cerro’s PTA and the first step in Advocacy is awareness. It
is important that you become aware of how the funding for schools in the
State of California work. Since the voters passed Proposition 13 in the
late 1970s, the majority of the Public school funding comes from the
State of California. It may surprise you to learn that our State ranks
35th in the USA for spending per student. See the attached
