From time to time the California State PTA
Board of Managers conducts studies of issues of
general concern in light of the Purposes of the
PTA and issues that affect the health, education
and well-being of children and youth.
A study may result in formulation and adoption
of a statement that establishes, clarifies or inter-prets
a PTA position or belief. Position state-ments
provide a basis for action on legislation
and other California State PTA action.
Upon adoption, position statements, resolutions
and general board positions are positions of the
California State PTA and remain in effect until
they are amended, rescinded or retired.
No new statement, board resolution or general
board position can be introduced that is in con-flict
with an existing position unless the respec-tive
corresponding position is first rescinded. The
California State PTA Board of Managers may not
amend or rescind a convention resolution and no
board position may be in conflict with a conven-tion
resolution.
Statements are reviewed every five years to revise,
reaffirm or to retire from current use. Statements
that include quotes excerpted from state or federal
law are reviewed annually. The dates under the title
of each statement represent the date first adopted
and the date of the latest revision/reaffirmation.
