WSPTA Focus Day 2017
Monday, January 16, 2017
Capitol Building | Olympia
Ready to Rally? WSPTA advocates will be rallying on the capitol steps to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday by celebrating Education as a Civil Right, alongside many other Washington State advocacy groups.
Following the release of Governor Inslee's proposed budget, which includes $3.9B in education funding, WSPTA advocates will hear from the Governor himself. In addition to the Governor, new Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) Chris Reykdal will also spend time with us in the rotunda. Chris will talk about his vision for the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and his top priorities during the first 100 days of office.
Meet Your Legislators. The main reason for Focus Day is learning about Washington State PTA (WSPTA), our advocacy a legislative platform, and meeting with your legislators to talk about the importance of our Whole Child advocacy! Don't miss this opportunity for an exclusive audience with your elected officials.
Kids are welcome! There will be kids activities available in the Columbia Room.
