Action Alerts

Monitoring the legislative process and advocating for laws that achieve gains for students, teachers and public education are among the cornerstones of CTA's mission. Our members play a pivotal role in our legislative success. Below you'll find Action Alerts developed by CTA's Governmental Relations department in response to the latest events in Sacramento.
