Las Palmas Elementary PTA

“Statement regarding lobbying activities: volunteers: each pta tries to recruit a legislative committee chairperson for the executive board. Our pta has filled this position with a chair who attends local meetings during the school year to keep appraised of issues that will affect our school community. The chair attends the 4th district pta sacramento safari event once per year. At the event, speakers and representatives from the california state legislators meet with representatives of pta units from the 4th district to speak about current issues/topics. The chair shares this information in summary form with the executive board and membership. Our legislative rep also encouraged members to register to vote. Publications: the las palmas elementary pta does not issue a formal publication, but does communicate legislative topics of interest with members at meetings of executive board and general membership. Our pta presents issues for consideration, and encourages members to educate themselves prior to voting on issues.”
