Legislative Committee
Chairperson: Samantha VanOsdol
The Legislative Committee helps keep PCACT members informed about legislative issues that may affect public education, educators, and students.
Committee members monitor relevant legislation, share updates and resources with members, and help communicate information from OEA and NEA regarding education-related policy and advocacy. The committee may also help identify opportunities for members to stay informed and engaged in the legislative process.
Through timely communication and education, the Legislative Committee helps PCACT members better understand the issues and decisions that can impact their classrooms, profession, and public schools.
