Where We Stand
|
|
Where We Stand is the official position document of the New York State PTA. It is comprised of resolution statements adopted by convention delegates. These statements are intended to guide members as to what action to take on specific issues that affect the education, health and welfare of children and youth. Resolutions that appear in this document are reconsidered within seven years of their original adoption or reaffirmation. At seven year increments they are reintroduced to convention delegates. By majority vote, delegates determine whether to adopt positions that have been recommended for retention (reaffirmation) or update, or to be rescinded. A resolution may be rescinded from this document when the action(s) in the resolved clauses has been taken. Rescinded resolutions are entered into an ongoing record of retired resolutions. Action may be taken through legislation, regulation or program. Delegates may also be asked to adopt a position(s) in the form of a new resolution, one that has not been previously presented to the delegate body. Resolutions are arranged from the most recently adopted retention(s), update(s) and new resolution(s) to the oldest within one of fourteen issue categories. The PTA is effective only through the support and action of its members. Once positions are adopted the NYS PTA relies on local units, councils and regions to educate members and the public on the issues and to encourage grassroots advocacy.
