Legislators in the Schools

Parents United and the Minnesota PTA are working to bring legislators into Minnesota’s public schools, with parents as their hosts.

The aim of this effort is to show our legislators the wonderful things that are happening in our children’s schools, as well as the challenges that our schools face. We also want to get their commitment to work with us in renewed efforts to improve our public schools for ALL Minnesota children across ALL Ages & Stages of Parenting.

The goal is to familiarize legislators with particular schools and, even more important, encourage parents to get to know their legislators. This is a critically important step in strengthening support at the legislature for our public schools.

Consider this a first or continuing step in developing a long-term relationship with your legislators.

Please keep in touch with us and let us know if you have questions or want additional information:
