On Monday, January 13, 2020, the Legislature convened the second year of its 66th biennial session. While considered to be a “short” session, limited to 60 days, there is no shortage of topics to be addressed. There are K–12 issues left unfinished or unsettled from 2019 or before. That’s one of the reasons why your participation here is so critical. Over the course of our time together, you will gain information and perspectives, reflective of our three associations’ priorities, that will assist you in speaking to your legislators tomorrow or at any time throughout the session. As challenging as the last year was, we have an individual and collective responsibility to look toward the future as we share our thoughts. In addition to the presentations you will hear today, the networking opportunities can further help you craft talking points to be brought forward at the Day on the Hill or at other times throughout the next few months. As has been said before, the importance and power of a collective voice, unified by common messages, cannot be underestimated. The success and well-being of each student in our systems depends upon it. Thank you for your service to the children and youth of our state.

The focus of the planning meetings is signing up for Monday’s meetings and identifying areas of focus based on the WASA, WSSDA, and WASBO Hot Topics. WSSDA’s Legislative Committee and Government Relations team have scheduled Monday meetings with each of the state’s 147 legislators. It is critical that teams of superintendents, school directors, and business officials participate in each meeting so our policy makers have a full perspective of our collective education priorities.
