HELPING TO IMPROVE SCHOOLS….
 PTAs can work to improve schools by supporting efforts to secure adequate funding, by working with school personnel to strengthen curriculum, by promoting parent-teacher cooperation and by providing volunteer aid for activities and programs. In addition, PTAs can work with community organizations to promote community-wide development projects.
