North Central ESD Board hosts Regional Legislative Meeting following WASA/WSSDA Legislative Conference

        The NCESD Board hosted a regional legislative meeting February 8 following the February 7-8 WASA/WSSDA Legislative Conference.  This gave superintendents and board members an excellent opportunity to visit with area legislators.

        Administrators and board members have been very pleased with the success of the legislative meetings held following the conference the past four years.  This single combined meeting with legislators, instead of the usual multiple appointments and meetings, has been convenient, efficient and effective.  Participants have expressed their appreciation and feel the meetings have been worthwhile. 

        Senator Linda Evans Parlette extended a special invitation this year to hold the regional meeting in the Senate Republican Caucus Room.  Several legislators who serve the districts in our region attended this special meeting, including Senator Parlette and Representative Mike Armstrong from the 12th district and legislative aides from the 7th and 13th districts. 

        This meeting afforded an excellent opportunity to visit with our legislators and enlist their support for our important educational issues.  This support is invaluable during this year of budget challenges.
