6th - 12th graders are invited to learn more about the PTA and give your input on how you can be better supported.

Join the WSPTA Student Advisory Committee!

We are looking for students to help upraise student voice in WSPTA! We are looking for students from all areas of Washington that would like to help us form a WSPTA Student Advisory Committee!

What is the commitment?
The commitment would be one meeting a month via Microsoft Teams. The meeting would last about 1 to 2 hours. There may be other tasks that would take outside time and there may be opportunities for in-person events.

What will the committee do?
The committee will decide once it has formed, but here are some possibilities: advocate for certain legislative issues, plan student programs on issues that students think are important, plan student events and trainings and create peer to peer resources.

Who can join?
Any student in grades 6th thru 12th that attends a Washington state high school, secondary or middle school is welcome. Please note these requirements may change based on what the committee decides.

Why should you join?
You will gain leadership skills, communication skills, program planning skills and learn more about WSPTA and the role students can play. It can also count as volunteer hours and will look good on your resume. You will have a huge impact on what WSPTA offers students and on empowering student voice.

Please feel free to share with any students that you think might be interested!

WSPTA Calls to Fully Fund Public Education and Advance Equity Across Districts

Let's Go to Bat for Kids!

As the conversation in Olympia turns to revenue, WSPTA is reminding law makers that more revenue must be dedicated to K-12 and wrap around supports, but not on the backs of already struggling families. Districts are using enrichment levies to cover basic education costs, widening inequities, and leaving students without the support they need. It’s time to close the funding gaps in special education, MSOC, and transportation, so every child has access to a fully funded, high-quality education!

For more information, check out WSPTA’s press release and a statement from WSPTA’s advocacy director.
