California PTA

PTA  =  Parent Teacher Association; PTSA = Parent Teacher Student Association
We use PTA in the elementary schools and use PTSA in the high schools.  Why?  Beacause starting in middle schools, we have students who join the PTA, and their enthusiasm and efforts should be counted.  California PTA is the "largest children's advocacy association, working to improve the lives of all children and families."  www.capta.org
