Texas PTA Priorities for the 89th Legislative Session
Whether it is organizing a school meeting to discuss classes for students with special needs, participating in the Texas PTA Rally Day, meeting with Texas State Legislators, or calling a member of Congress to talk about the federal budget, PTA members are making a difference for children and families in their communities and across the country. After 120 years, at its core, PTA advocacy is still about speaking for every child with one voice.
Join us for the first in a series of three webinars in preparation for Rally Day 2025. In this session learn how to:
- Plan ahead
- Get support from your ISD and community
- Handle logistics (transportation, lodging, meals)
- Create a sample schedule
- Make the most out of the legislative (adult) and student caucuses
Register today for all three webinars:
- November 14, 2024 @12:00 (CT) - Texas PTA Priorities for the 89th Legislative Session
- January 16, 2025 @12:00 (CT) - Meeting with your Legislators

Community Memberships
Successful students are everyone's business, and successful schools build successful communities. We understand that members of our communities may want to support multiple schools, and now there's an easy way to do it with our Community Membership packages at PlanoPTA.org.
Choose from City, Senior High School Feeder Pattern, or Elementary School Feeder Pattern memberships. It's the perfect way for alumni, local businesses, citizens, and officials to show their support for a group of schools and PTAs. Simply select the package(s) that include the campuses you wish to join, and Plano ISD Council of PTAs will handle the rest—facilitating membership notification and transferring funds to those local PTAs and Texas PTA.
Our goal is to help community members and local PTA/PTSA chapters in achieving the PTA vision of making every child's potential a reality.
Join us today and make a difference!
If you would like to join a single campus visit JoinPTA.org.
