“SHARE Your Voice!” Fulfill this year’s GCISD Council of PTAs theme by participating at the 2023 Texas PTA Rally Day February 27th in Austin.  TX PTA Rally Day is for current GCISD PTA members (adults and students), and is an opportunity to meet with legislators to advocate for policies that will benefit every student, educator, and campus throughout GCISD.

Additionally, your input is needed and valued!  Please use this Legislative Priority Form to rank your top priorities from 1-10 (1 being most important).

If you have any questions or would like to know more about Texas PTA Rally Day, please contact Matt Faust at legislative@gcisdcouncilofptas.org or Michaela Nichols at advocacy@heseagles.org.
