Every year, Congress must pass a budget to fund the government for the next year. This congressional requirement has become more complex over the years, but no less important, as the budget decides what federal programs should be funded.
National PTA's government affairs department will guide participants through the appropriations process with updates on the funding levels for certain education programs.
Participants will learn:
- How the annual federal appropriations process works
- Ways to effectively advocate for investments in education
- National PTA's federal funding priorities
Speakers:
- Joshua Westfall, Government Affairs Manager, National PTA
- Jacqueline Thomas, Legislative Assistant, Senator Chris Coons (D-DE)
