California State PTA believes that children should not be deprived or penalized because of the family situation in which they live.
California State PTA supports:
- Coordination of health, welfare and educational services to meet family needs;
- Programs that provide education and training to enhance parenting skills to meet the needs of individual families;
- Services that enable children with special needs to take advantage of all educational opportunities;
- Services for children whose parents or caregivers are incapacitated or temporarily absent from the home, who have been separated from their families or caregivers;
- Programs and services for individuals and families who are touched by the juvenile justice and foster care systems; and
- Full funding for mandated programs.
California State PTA believes every child has the right to be provided the opportunity to become a self-respecting, contributing member of society.
