Education Advocacy
PTSA President Caroline Bodziak attended Maryland PTA Night in Annapolis Feb. 7 and heard from delegates from around the state about various education-related legislation being considered, including:
- School Bus Safety
- Universal Pre-K
- Allowing Parental Leave for school-related activities
- Mental Health Support for Children
- Lead Remediation in Drinking Water
- Blocking Funding for a Firearms Act to prevent teachers from carrying or being trained on firearms in school
- Funding to make schools Trauma Informed, including training and support for teachers
- Ensuring that schools receiving state funding do not discriminate
- Allowing Vocational Ed. Students to fast-track into Apprenticeship Programs
- Many others
If this type of advocacy interests you, email Caroline at mthebronptsa@gmail.com. There is room in PTSA to create an Advocacy Committee if there is enough interest.
