Join Arkansas Parent Teacher Association at the State Capital for the 2019 Legislative Conference. PTA will conduct a panel discussion on school safety and gun violence prevention. Our goal is to engage legislature, government agencies, and school communities on ways to take our advocacy forward. Our conversation will include gun control measures being sought at the national, state and local levels, increased resource officers on campuses, and the disproportionate impact on students of color, the details of what it means to arm educators and what PTA can do to create shifts in policy moving forward. We will also discuss the mental health factors that are affecting students, by having firearms more prevalent in schools and homes.
Location: Arkansas State Capital, 500 Woodlane Ave, Little Rock, AR
Date: 25 January, 9 - 4pm | 12:00 - 12:45 Lunch
