Last day to drop off your letters - This Thursday 23!
If you are unsure what to ask Texas lawmakers for, increasing the Basic Allotment is an issue important to Texas PTA and Katy ISD.
Districts are prevented from making meaningful investments in teacher and staff pay, and the growing educational needs of students.
A sample letter is attached if you need help getting started.
Bring your letters to the front desk at BDJH by this Thursday 23 so we can take them to Texas PTA Rally Day on Monday.
