State and Federal Agencies
State and federal agency websites contain a lot of basic information about our government and the legislative process. The information on these websites is updated regularly and can be used to support PTA positions.
Federal Government
The National PTA’s Office of Governmental Relations (OGR) in Washington, DC, has sorted through the mountains of information available at the federal level and provides an easy way for PTA members to contact their congressmen and voice their concerns for children. For more information visit the NPTA Advocacy page.
State Government
There is a great deal of information about Iowa’s legislative process, legislation being considered, and the State Capitol building at The Iowa Legislature.
Other Education Advocates
The Iowa PTA collaborates with many groups to advance our mission in Iowa and across the nation. Their websites are additonal resources for advocates.
