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.
