Community Legislative Network


The Community Legislative Network, or CLN, is a Superintendent's Committee that provides stakeholder input in order to advocate for public policy that will benefit Paradise Valley Unified School District. Members of the committee are appointed from every stakeholder group within the district including, parents, teachers, support staff, administrators, and community members.
​
Each fall the committee develops a legislative agenda for PVSchools. In accordance with this legislative agenda, during the legislative session (January – May), the committee tracks and discusses K12 education bills in order to identify priority bills, in which to take formal positions. Upon carefully measured determination, CLN utilizes an e-mail network to send legislative alerts to individual stakeholders, with the goal of activating them to communicate with their legislators.
​
To receive action alerts and occasional updates, you can email CLN at subscribeCLN@gmail.com.

For more frequent education legislation updates, consider signing up for communication from one or more of these advocacy groups:


Arizona PTA
Expect More Arizona
Arizona School Boards Association
Arizona Education Association


Request to Speak is an online system that allows you to click THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN to let legislators know how you feel about any bill that’s currently being considered in the Arizona. CLN can help you get registered on Request to Speak if you fill out a proxy form here.
How to use Request to Speak
