Tennessee PTA Memberships Down 48 Percent Due To COVID-19 Thursday, April 22, 2021
Tennessee Parent Teacher Association is promoting a capital campaign to make up for a $35,000 deficit because of revenue loss and declining memberships in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how PTA normally operates, with many volunteers not allowed inside school buildings and fundraisers canceled.
Membership dues pay for vital resources, including programs like literacy, reflection, and family engagement. While PTA has adapted to online learning by providing virtual resources, they are in need of funding to continue providing those assets. Tax-deductible donations of $25, $50, $100, $500, or more can be sent to their office located at 1905 Acklen Ave., Nashville, TN 37212.
