Texas PTA Priorities for the 89th Legislative Session
Whether it is organizing a school meeting to discuss classes for students with special needs, participating in the Texas PTA Rally Day, meeting with Texas State Legislators, or calling a member of Congress to talk about the federal budget, PTA members are making a difference for children and families in their communities and across the country. After 120 years, at its core, PTA advocacy is still about speaking for every child with one voice.
Join us for the first in a series of three webinars in preparation for Rally Day 2025. In this session learn how to:
- Plan ahead
- Get support from your ISD and community
- Handle logistics (transportation, lodging, meals)
- Create a sample schedule
- Make the most out of the legislative (adult) and student caucuses
Register today for all three webinars:
- November 14, 2024 @12:00 (CT) - Texas PTA Priorities for the 89th Legislative Session
- January 16, 2025 @12:00 (CT) - Meeting with your Legislators
