Legislation & Advocacy

2014 Election is 2014. PTA Units are encouraged to advocate on behalf of Children and Families. While PTA Unit's can not endorse a candidate,  PTA's can host and participate in candidate forums to learn more about local issues and candidates. The PTA Council works with the community to host a School Board Candidates Forum each election cycle. More information on this event will be posted soon.
