2008 Legislative Agenda
Goals of the Committee
- Become educated on legislative issues that may impact Paradise Valley Unified School District
- Develop an annual district legislative agenda and recommend its adoption to the governing board each November
- Introduce legislation of our own, as needed
- Stay abreast of all legislation pertaining to our district legislative agenda
- Provide direction to the contracted lobbyist
- Recommend those who will be authorized as lobbyists to speak on behalf of the district in addition to the designated lobbyist
- Lobby our state legislators to make them aware of the district’s positions
- Communicate with the governing board through regular legislative updates at their meetings
- Communicate with individual stakeholders in a timely manner via an email network. Activate them to lobby the legislature.
- Promote the availability of the email network to each of our own stakeholder groups
- Network with other positive education activist groups when beneficial, but without adopting others’ agendas as our own
- Initiate positive public relations when action is needed, for example, by authoring newsletter articles, with the assistance of the PVUSD Public Relations Officer
