WSSDA’s Federal Relations Network (FRN) is a joint undertaking with the National School Boards’ Association (NSBA). It provides a communication network among NSBA, WSSDA government relations staff, and FRN members in each congressional district.
The WSSDA FRN actively supports the NSBA’s efforts to influence federal legislation by making regular contact with the Washington congressional delegation. This is done by sharing information, resources, and perspective regarding the impact of federal legislation on school districts. The WSSDA FRN also alerts NSBA and Washington’s members of Congress to state issues affecting education, particularly those related to the actions of the federal government.
Next year’s NSBA Advocacy Institute and Day on the Hill will be held on January 25-28, 2025.
