Join Plano ISD Council of PTAs as we head to Austin Monday, February 27, 2023!
It will be a meaningful day filled with inspiration, information, speeches, camaraderie and meetings with elected officials at our beautiful state capitol building.
We are partnering with Plano ISD's Fine Arts Department to bring a group of speech & debate students and those would be interested in this opportunity. There will be between 25-30 students eager to meet other student advocates from across the state at their very own student caucus.
A more detailed schedule will be sent to you beforehand. A charter bus will depart the Plano ISD Administration Building promptly at 6am (so early!). Plan on arriving between 5:30-5:50am. The bus will most likely not get back until after 7pm. It's a long day, but so worth it!
Please indicate below if you'd like a reserved seat on the bus or whether you'll be arranging your own transportation. We have limited seating available. Plano ISD Council of PTAs will provide you with a special Advocacy t-shirt to wear for the day along with an online information meeting beforehand to go over important information. Lunch will be provided. You'll be asked to place an order in advance once the options have been finalized.
We're currently determining our lunchtime location and arranging a panel for our students to learn more about the staffers of our elected officials. We're partnering with Missy Bender from the Raise Your Hand Texas Foundation to help us identify a location. We're also finalizing the meetings with elected officials.
