Answers may be found at the 34th annual PTA Advocacy Day for Education. This year, we’re focusing on the major transitions in education in California. Presenters will cover:

• Transitions in Standards (from CST to Common Core)
• Transitions in Standardized Testing (from paper/fill-in the bubble STAR test to the online SBAC)
• Transitions in Funding Method (from revenue limits to Local Control Funding Formula, LCFF)
• Opportunities for Parent Engagement through the newly mandated Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP)

Held locally again this year, Advocacy Day will be an all-day event, including lunch.
