To advocate for school wants/needs to district…which is more effective -o have parents individually campaign with a letter than can be customized and sent from their personal email, or for all to sign an online letter that can be sent as one letter with all attached signatures?

Are their requests for presenters?

Can you provide a list of possible workshops (topics.)

Please feel free to save this chat for all the links in the chat for advocacy

One topic? The importance of PTA members to attend school board meetings and provide input. At our school board meetngs, we do not have public attending.

Thank you!!

Some things never change thank God!

That would be great. This week I have meetings everyday after drop off. We will try again. Would be great to get our SM Leg group together.

Please feel free to email any of the Leg team members
