Advocacy Ask from Jeffco PTA:

We have many new and returning lawmakers who will be making decisions that affect our kids in Jeffco. We need teams of parents and community members to make sure our elected officials understand the needs of our schools and work toward legislative solutions to the problems our district is still facing.

Please contact Jeffco PTA’s legislative chair Shawna Fritzler (fritzlersm@aol.com) if you want to get involved!
