WSPTA 2020-2021 Top 5 Legislative Priorities
1. Increase access to nursing, mental health and social emotional learning staff
2. Support students and preserve education funding
3. Increasing educational equity by closing the digital divide
4. Supports and funding for students with disabilities and their families
5. Prevent and reduce gun violence and suicide
