Check out this article from NEA! "Teachers want students to be welcome in their classrooms. When you stop to think about it, parents want all children to be welcome, too." Parents and Educators Want the Same Thing | NEA

Parents and Educators Want the Same Thing | NEA

We all want students to be supported and welcomed in their classrooms. As attacks on public education have grown, today’s parent partnerships have evolved to meet the challenge.

PAT is proud to endorse Jessica Vega Pederson for Mult Co Chair. Jessica championed the Preschool for All program, now becoming a reality for some of our youngest neighbors. She is a strong voice for public education, housing, and a just economic recovery from the covid pandemic.

The bill removes the 11% pop cap on add'l SpEd funding, adds weight to stus experiencing houselessness. PPS currently has close to 17% SpEd, and abt 6600 stus in temp living situations. We advocated for more $$ to accommodate the raised cap, which was set in the 90s! 2/3
