Welcome to TCA's PTA page.  There is information on many of our PTA sponsored events, volunteer opportunities and news.  Browse around, look under the different tabs and see all that is going on at TCA.  Please come back often to see all the fun and exciting things we are planning.  We are also always looking for new ideas on fundraising and events, etc.  Please feel free to reach out and share your ideas, questions or comments. 

IN THE LEGISLATURE:  Two bills are before the state legislature.  A4597 is in the State Assembly and S3080 is in the State Senate.  Both bills have the same purpose, which is increasing the current security aid from the current $75.00 to $150.00 per K-12 student. 
Our Position:  Security aid for our students is underfunded. Risk to all students is real, especially when faith-based institutions become targets for violence.  This further appropriation would increase the amount of security aid so that schools can take further steps now, during this school year, to put additional security measures in place for the safety of all. 

Public school funding for security is approximately $205.00 per student.

ACTION: 

1. Please contact your State Senator and Assembly members for your state legislative district.  Ask your Senator to support S3080, and your Assembly members to support A4597.  To find your Senator and Assembly members, go to:  https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp and click on the word “municipality” in the lower right-hand section of the web page.

2. Please call Senate President Steve Sweeney at 856-251-9801.  Here is the message:  “My name is _____ and I live in _______ town/city.  I am very concerned about protecting nonpublic school children in the wake of recent tragic events at a place of worship in Pittsburgh.  I would like to ask Senate President Steve Sweeney to post Senate Bill S3080 in the Education Committee so that there can be a vote for equitable funding to help keep children safe in nonpublic schools who currently receive less funding than their public school counterparts.
