WSPTA Advocacy Platform Submissions Now Being Accepted

As a grassroots association Washington State PTA relies on its members to provide the priorities that we will advocate for at the state-level and within our communities. Learn more about our WSPTA legislative priorities here and the history of our advocacy efforts here.

Any PTA member is encouraged to submit an issue, resolution, or principle that addresses concerns that affect children on a state-wide level.

The submission process is now open!

• Legislative issue submission information
  
• Legislative principle submission information
  
• Resolution submission information
  

Legislative issue submission title and short description due Friday, May 1, 2020.
Resolution title and draft (for new and amended resolutions) due Friday, May 1, 2020.
Completed proposal forms for issues, resolutions and legislative principles are due Monday, June 1, 2020.

To assist you in the process, WSPTA has developed a series of four videos, "The Savvy Submitter's Guide to Issues, Resolutions, and Principles," to walk you through the required steps:

• Part 1 - Overview
• Part 2 - Legislative Issues
• Part 3 - Resolutions
• Part 4 - Legislative Principles

The current legislative issue platform will be replaced at the 2020 Legislative Assembly in October 2020. Members will adopt a new Top 5 platform including the additional issues that will comprise the "also supported" list.
