PTA Advocacy
For more than 100 years, PTAs have advocated for the health, safety, welfare, and education of all children and youth and provided support to members so that they can speak with a powerful voice.
​
WHS PTSA continues this legacy and elevates the voices in our community on behalf of all children. We attend Washington State PTA's (WSPTA) Legislative Assembly to help determine our collective legislative priorities with the aim of positively impacting public education and improving outcomes for all students.
​
Here are some resources to help you find out what we're doing, get in touch with us or get involved in advocacy yourself!

WSPTA held its 46th annual Legislative Assembly on October 26-27, 2024.
​​​
Members from across the state came together to learn, debate, and vote on the new legislative priorities WSPTA will focus on for the next two years.
​
WSPTA's legislative platform is made up of three components:
​
Issues: During the 44th Washington State PTA Legislative Assembly, delegates debated and voted on the top five issues that make up our short-term legislative priorities including eight issues added to the 'also supported' list. WSPTA will prioritize advocacy efforts on these issues during the upcoming 2025 legislative session.
​
Principles: Long-term legislative principles are separated into five overarching categories and are broader in scope. They allow members to advocate on many topical issues across the state. During the 42nd WA State PTA Legislative Assembly, the new principle, "anti-racism, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression," was added to the Safe and Nurturing Environments for Children and Youth category.
​
Resolutions: Long-term resolutions are available for members to help in their advocacy efforts both locally and at a state level and cover a wide range of topics to support children. During the 44th Washington State PTA Legislative Assembly, one new resolutions was adopted.
