Utah PTA Day at the Capitol

The Utah State Legislature begins the 2012 session on Monday, January 23rd. One of the important functions of the PTA organization is to advocate on behalf of our children. The legislative session always brings new legislation that impacts our schools, our children and education policy. Please make sure you are informed and reach out to your elected officials to voice your opinion.

Mark the date of February 24, 2012 on your calendar; this is the date of "Utah PTA Day at the Capitol". The schedule will include:

• Updates on current legislation Utah PTA is addressing



• An opportunity to meet and speak with your legislators



• Seeing the legislative process in the House and Senate



• Necessary business of PTA will be conducted, if needed

We would like to see the Capitol flooded with PTA members. All PTA members are welcome.
