Here we go, folks! The fall election season is upon us. What can you do as a public-school champion? VOTE! When we call elected officials in the spring to demand action for public schools, candidates' offices will look up whether or not you are an actual voter. #PTAVotes

We can't wait to see our Council Delegates Wednesday, October 9 from 9:30a.m. to 11:30 a.m. @ Bolin PLC by the LISD Admin building! Don't have a Council Delegate? Principals, presidents and any board member that can make it are invited (one vote per school).

The Lewisville ISD Council of PTAs will be hosting a candidate forum on October 15th from 9-11 a.m. at the TECC-East building. Please spread the word, show up to support public education and help candidates understand that support/funding of public schools is crucial! #PTAvotes
