County Meetings

When new legislation passes, PSBA is seen as the leader in analyzing it and helping members make sense of it.

To gain legislative support for PSBA's legislative priorities, county coordinators organize two meetings – one in the spring and one in the fall -- with members and staff of the General Assembly and school officials.

Spring county meetings with legislators scheduled

Current legislative issues and the PSBA 2007 – 2008 legislative priorities, as chosen by the Legislative Action Council, will be the featured topics of discussion at PSBA’s upcoming round of county legislative meetings. It is at these upcoming meetings where school directors and PSBA governmental and member relations staff discuss with local legislators the importance of public education issues and their impact on school districts.

            Official notices of the meetings will be mailed to superintendents and each school board’s PSBA liaison, president and secretary, but all school board members are urged to attend these very important meetings!
