🗳️ **November 2026 Ballot Measures: Learn More**

Ella Baker families, three initiatives affecting children and public schools across Washington will appear on the November ballot:

📚 **IL26-001:** Parental rights in public schools
⚽ **IL26-638:** Participation in athletics at K–12 schools
🏛️ **IL26-645:** State and local taxes

The Washington State PTA (WSPTA) Board of Directors has voted to oppose all three initiatives and encourages PTA members statewide to vote **NO**. Ella Baker PTSA members also voted on October 7 to support opposition to these initiatives.

PTA advocates for every child’s education, health, safety, and well-being. We encourage families to learn more about these initiatives and understand the reasons behind the PTSA’s position.
