Arizona's Legislative Session is in Full Swing!
United Parent Council encourages all citizens to become better informed about issues that impact the quality of education for our children and to exercise their right to vote.
The Community Legislative Network, or CLN, is a grassroots effort to advocate for public policy that will benefit Paradise Valley Unified School District. During the legislative session (January - May), CLN tracks legislation and meets with state legislators to inform and educate them about the district's positions.
CLN utilizes an e-mail network to send legislative updates to individual stakeholders with the goal of activating them to communicate with their legislation.
Request to Speak is an online system that allows you to click THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN to let legislators know how you feel about any bill that's currently being considered in the Arizona from your home! CLN can help you get registered on Request to Speak if you fill out a proxy form here.
