Legislative Advocacy

WSPTA is one of the only state PTAs that is truly grassroots – our advocacy positions come from you, our members. Members have submitted new resolutions, legislative principles and issues, and it is important that members have the opportunity to amend, debate and vote on which become positions of WSPTA. Voting delegates will adopt new positions, the two-year legislative platform and top 5 legislative priorities at a two-day virtual Legislative Assembly October 24-25, 2020.

We know delegates value the issue education, caucusing, panels and other advocacy training, so watch for more information on dates for those events in our newsletters and on the Legislative Assembly webpage.
