Welcome!

NUTMEG STATEWIDE PTA (NSPTA) was chartered by Connecticut PTA on February 9, 1989 with a grant from National PTA and fifteen founding members. 

This statewide unit was established to provide a PTA vehicle for those who are interested in statewide issues affecting the health, education and welfare of children and youth. In 1998, CT PTA named NSPTA, as it’s official statewide unit.
