Welcome to the
website for the Award Winning TRMS PTA!
The TRMS PTA is an
active volunteer group of parents,
teachers, and community members who are dedicated to enhancing the TRMS
experience for our students. Volunteers are the core of our PTA We hope you
will consider volunteering on the TRMS PTA team.
One of the primary purposes of PTA is to
advocate for the welfare of all children, and TRMS PTA takes this
responsibility very seriously. Our legislative chairperson regularly attends
local school board community meetings, PTA legislative conferences, state
legislative meetings and conferences on educational issues, and keeps the
TRMS community informed of pertinent issues.
Additionally, it is our responsibility as parents to keep informed of
legislation, both at the state and federal level, which will affect our
children and their education. The Georgia legislature will be going into
session in January of 2009. You can keep up-to-date on statewide issues via
Capitol Watch through the Georgia PTA website,
www.georgiapta.org. Capitol Watch tracks
bills, budget proposals, and state department agendas concerning children
and education. On the federal level, National PTA also offers information
regarding current legislative issues. This can be accessed by going to the
National PTA
website at
www.pta.org and signing up for the “This
Week in Washington” e-newsletter.
Georgia PTA sponsors an annual PTA DAY at the
Capitol each February, and all PTA members are invited to attend. Next year
it will be held on February 24, 2009. PTA members from across the state will
meet with legislators to discuss issues related to children and education.
