Advocacy
You can’t be everywhere at once! CASP is there, in Sacramento and beyond, when you can’t be. Read on for information about our current advocacy efforts and how you can become a stronger advocate for yourself and your students.
Legislative Priorities
It’s no secret, we have an advocacy agenda – also known as legislative priorities. Our board-approved legislative priorities help us focus our advocacy efforts on the issues most important to school psychologists.
Legislative Positions
California legislators propose thousands of bills every session. See where CASP stands on the latest bills that impact school psychologists and the students we serve.
Legislative Committee
CASP’s legislative priorities and positions are recommended by our legislative committee and approved by our board. The school psychologists serving on the committee are subject matter experts in a wide array of issues. Committee members also work closely with our advocates and Executive Director to attend meetings, give presentations, and ensure school psychologists are well-represented in California’s legislature.
