While Kansas PTA is sensitive to the challenges of balancing property tax levels, we are cautious about any tax policy that makes it harder to ensure constitutional levels of funding for K-12 public education. #ksleg #ksed

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Janet Waugh, a former PTA leader and 24 year member of the Kansas Board of Education. Janet’s unwavering commitment to education and advocacy made a lasting impact on our state.

PTAs work for children. PTAs meet together, study problems, support teachers, volunteer in schools, attend workshops on parenting and become informed on issues regarding children and youth. As a result, PTA members become better parents, teachers, and citizens.

By joining a local PTA, a member automatically becomes a part of the largest child-advocacy organization in the state and nation.
