WSPTA Legislative Assembly Mini-Recap
Each year, Washington State PTA hosts Legislative Assembly - an event for advocates from across the state to participate in a true grassroots advocacy program. Delegates have the opportunity to take classes to improve their skills and to participate in debating and voting on legislative priorities for PTA. This year's Legislative Assembly took place October 15-16. Norman Rockwell Elementary was represented by delegate Nicole Dahl, co-VP Advocacy. Based on delegates' votes, these five top-ranked issues will serve as WSPTA's legislative platform for the next two years:
- Addressing the Student Mental Health Crisis
- Addressing Critical Gaps in Education Funding
- Preventing and Reducing Gun Violence and Suicide
- Addressing Funding, Inclusion and Supports in Special Education
- Building and Maintaining Safer School Facilities
Read about these legislative issues in the Voters' Guide (PDF). Stay tuned for a full recap of the 2022 Legislative Assembly. For further information please contact Nicole Dahl.
