PACTA’s State Advocacy Day is scheduled for April 25, 2023 in Harrisburg. We will start the day at 8:30 a.m. at the Capitol Complex. After brief remarks and distribution of legislative packets, you may head to your legislative visits. There will be CTCs/schools exhibiting in the rotunda.
Visits should be scheduled between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
We have an opportunity this year to see a funding increase for career and technical education as well as legislation passed that will have a positive impact on career and technical education. We urge all of you to invite Advisory Committee members, JOC members, students, and other supporters of CTE to participate with you in this event. To participate please follow the steps below.
