Elected Officials go to School Program
North Carolina PTA is excited to announce its annual “Elected Official Go to School” program.
This program provides an opportunity for elected officials to visit, observe and participate in
activities of North Carolina Public Schools. We encourage you to invite county commissioners,
members of local boards of education, state legislators and other elected officials to participate in
the daily routine at your school. Notice of this program has been sent to members of the North
Carolina Senate and House Representatives, County Commissioners and Superintendents
statewide.
We encourage all PTAs to become involved in the program sometime during the school year.
Participating in this program will enlighten elected officials of our school’s needs. Our elected
representatives will better understand the conditions in the educational environment of the staff
and students in your school. It is important that they see the total spectrum of your school. We
believe the survival of effective public education in North Carolina is dependent upon adequate
laws and resources that will provide quality education throughout our state. This experience
should enhance elected officials’ awareness and support as they make decisions regarding public
education North Carolina. We have included a number of suggested activities in the program
guide.
Thank you for your advocacy efforts; together we can make a difference in the lives of all
children.
