Thank you for all you do for the children, youth, and families in Washington! The 2026 legislative session runs from January 12 to March 12. Lawmakers need to hear from us NOW about the critical funding challenges facing our schools.
- TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT K-12 FUNDING HERE!
- Your voice can help prevent devastating budget cuts that harm students across our state.
- Close Critical Funding Gaps!
- Contact your legislators to clarify that SB 5814 was never meant to apply to public schools and stop these taxes from pulling critical funding away from classrooms.
- Fix SB 5814 Tax Burden on Schools
- Washington State PTA members know that schools are more than classrooms: they are community hubs, trusted environments, and spaces where children and youth can access nutrition and health care.
- Maintain Meals, Health Care, and Education Supports for Students
- We are urging members to contact their Washington State House Representatives to tell them to protect our children from gun violence by passing E2SSB 5098.
- Restrict Guns in Public Spaces Where Children Gather
- Schools must be safe and welcoming for all students and families — not places where students or families fear federal immigration enforcement.
