The NCATA Legislative Committee works to identify, prioritize and track state legislation and regulations important to teacher assistants, and, when appropriate, recommend policy positions on such legislation and regulations to the NCATA Executive Council. We are dedicated towards reaching our legislative goals, discussing our work and concerns with legislators, and helping them better understand how teacher assistants benefit North Carolina's students.

Our government affairs specialist works in Raleigh with members of the state legislature to ensure that the interests of teacher assistants are well-represented.

You are an important part of this process! NCATA provides a forum where our individual voices can come together to influence policymakers regarding issues that impact teacher assistants. NCATA action alerts give you the information you need to effectively bring your concerns to the attention of your legislators. You have the power to effect change about the issues that matter to you the most!

Remember, while there’s strength in diversity, there’s power in unity. NCATA is here to bring as many diverse voices to our cause as possible, and deliver a unifying message at the same time. We must agree on the important goals and we can achieve success!

If you have legislative questions or concerns, contact your District Legislative Committee member.
