Our Advocacy Page has been updated with WSPTA's 2020-2021 top five legislative priorities and other supported issues. Please check it out here.

The top five priorities are:

1. Increasing access to Nursing, Mental Health and S.E.L. staff.
2. Support Students and Preserve Education Funding.
3. Increasing Educational Equity by Closing the Digital Divide.
4. Supports and Funding for Students with Disabilities and Their Families.
5. Decreasing gun violence and suicide.

These legislative priorities (as well as the other supported issues, principles, and resolutions) were voted on at the 42nd Annual Legislative Assembly on October 24-25, 2020 in a virtual format. Medina PTA had seven voting delegates: Li-Tan Hsu, Julie Franck, Andrea Turner, Marti Enke, Maxine Lee, María Ortega, and Shari Kauls.

The Legislative Assembly is held once every two years.
