Good Discussions About Education

  • Sunday, March 18, 2018

I had the pleasure to represent Tennessee PTA at the National PTA Legislative Conference in Washington, DC. I want to thank Senator Bob Corker for allowing me to speak about education and school safety to his legislative assistant.

We had a good discussion about common sense school safety measures and about supporting family education. In particular, I asked for support about appropriating the already authorized funds for the ESSA-based Statewide Family Engagement Centers.
