"PTA... PTO... WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?"
The PTA is an association that provides members with access to an established
network of volunteers at the local, state, and national levels who help one
another and share resources, ideas, and projects. It goes beyond the local
school as many problems affecting children and youth cannot be solved by local
action alone.
There is strength in numbers, and the PTA has clout and numbers to get the
job done.
Other parent teacher organizations (PTO's) are solely school-based and do
not provide access to a larger network.
PTAs have:
 | Access to handbooks from the state and National PTA, |
| Representation on state and national-level coalitions working to benefit
children and youth, |
| Free membership materials from the state and National PTA, regular
mailings and materials from the state and National PTA, |
| Access to the National PTA web site subscription area and a complimentary
subscription to the National PTA magazine, Our Children, leadership services
provided at the state and national level via conventions, conferences, and
workshops, and |
| Legislative committees at the state and federal levels working to secure
adequate laws for the protection of children and youth. |
Connecticut PTA can provide you with details on becoming affiliated with the
National PTA.
