Advocacy

Advocating for the best possible education opportunities for our children

This page contains information about different topics related to advocating for the best possible education opportunities for our children.  While much of it relates to legislation (current or pending) it also relates to grassroots movements, court cases, and ballot initiatives that may impact our schools. This page contains many links to outside sources you can use to gain more information, with some overview of a PTA position (PV, Jeffco, Colorado or National) on the issue presented.
