The most recent edition of the New York State PTA Resource Guide is available below for your use as a PTA member.

Our purpose is to make it easier for all members to have access to information about NYS PTA and the guidelines associated with its operation.

The Resource Guide is presented in sections and can be used as separate guides.

The information is broken down in this manner to facilitate any printing or downloading that you may choose to do. You may print and copy any of the pages, an entire section or download and save the entire document to your personal computer or thumbdrive.
