Description

Over the last three years, the Stoughton Area School District has hosted elected officials from local, state and federal levels to showcase the district and community while advocating for public education. A Legislative Day provided a platform for representatives to engage directly with students, educators and administrators, gaining firsthand insights into the district's strengths and challenges. Events like this allow for authentic conversations and give students a direct voice in shaping their educational future. Learn how and why Stoughton developed a Legislative Day, and leave with a framework to develop or enhance a Legislative Day in your district.
