CCPTA Seeking Volunteers for Legislative Advocacy

The CCPTA is looking for volunteers to help lobby at the state level. They are hoping to have at least two local PTA representatives who will virtually meet with EACH member of the VA General Assembly covering Arlington County to discuss two 2021 Session priorities supported by the VA PTA (see below), during the timeframe of Jan 18 - Feb 5. The time commitment to speak is about 15 minutes during the work day. The purpose is to persuade state lawmakers to allocate additional resources to schools in an equitable manner. Register under Constituent Connections here. More detail about these priorities can be found here.

To submit community news for publication in the Discovery PTA newsletter, please email a short blurb to newsletter@discoverypta.org.
