2019 PTA WA Legislative Assembly

Cherry Crest sent two representatives to the WA State PTA Legislative Conference this October, Kathy Hotchkies and Chelsea Lientz. It was a powerful experience to watch PTA/PTSA representatives from across the state work together to advocate for Washington’s children. We advocated for policies that will set up the next generation of Washingtonians to thrive. Please take a moment to read about PTA efforts statewide.

Your PTSA membership pays for this work. Please become a 2019-20 PTSA member today.

During the 2020 legislative session, WSPTA will send action alerts to members who have signed up using our Voter Voice system. These action alerts are quick, easy ways to communicate with our legislators on topics they are actively working on. Sign up today.
