Georgia PTA Legislative Update
PTA Day at the Capitol:
Wed. , February 27th
PTA members will have the opportunity to learn first hand about legislation that will affect their children, their schools, and their communities. This year's PTA Day at the Capitol will be more significant than ever as it will be the only opportunity to learn about the bills being considered by the legislature. Some items up for discussion: - A bill that would allow administrators in school to be armed.
- A new way for parents to petition their school to become a charter school.
- Legislation that would regulate when student athletes can return to playing after sustaining a concussion.
Learn about these bills and more at PTA Day. Attendees will also learn how to talk to decision makers in a way that will make a difference. After the morning program, attendees will go to the Capitol where they can speak directly to their legislators about the issues that concern them.
The highlight of the day is lunch with your legislators. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy lunch and discuss issues with their House Representatives and Senators.
While all the legislators have been invited, a phone call from you inviting them to join you at lunch will help ensure they attend.
Registration is open now on the Georgia PTA website. Early registration: PTA members $35, non-members $40. Late or on-site registration is $50. Please consider sponsoring a legislator to help defray the costs of the lunch.
Click here to access online registration. A form is also available that can be mailed in (see the GeorgiaPTA.org website).
We hope to see you at PTA Day so you can become an informed and empowered advocate!
