Legislation
The Washington State PTA actively lobbies the state legislature for issues affecting education. Our Issaquah Middle PTSA Legislative Representative is responsible for disseminating information about these efforts (and the efforts of other organizations) to the PTSA membership.
Our legislation representative also attends the State PTA Legislative Assembly in October of each year. The Legislative Assembly is a gathering of PTA representatives from around the state, who debate and decide what issues the State PTA will focus its lobbying efforts on in the coming state legislative session.

For more information about legislation, please contact , IM PTSA Legislative chairperson.
