NJ PTA Diversity and Inclusion Survey

The NJPTA Diversity and Inclusion Committee has been hard at work trying to tailor their programs to meet the diversity and inclusion needs of families and local units. To this end, they have designed a survey to give themselves an idea of where they stand from the perspective of local families. We were asked to share this survey in our community to help them engage and empower families and local units. Diversity and Inclusion Survey The survey will close for submissions on October 15!
