Description

Join the School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA) for our November Legislative Committee Meeting as we review recent federal legislative developments, the results of the 2026 midterm elections, and emerging policy issues that may impact school social workers nationwide. 

Meeting Discussion Topics: 

1. 2026 Midterm Election Results & National Policy Shifts: Discuss the election results, changes in congressional leadership and representation, and potential implications for federal education policy, school mental health funding, and school social work advocacy. 

2. Federal Legislative Updates: Review FY2027 appropriations, current legislative priorities, and developments that may impact school-based mental health services and student support programs.

3. CSWE Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards: Discuss the proposed revisions to the 2029 standards, concerns surrounding equity, social justice, and policy advocacy, and the potential impact on the preparation of future school social workers. 

4. National Advocacy Efforts: Share updates on state legislative initiatives, coalition activities, and opportunities for continued collaboration. 

5. SSWAA Legislator of the Year Award Voting: Review the nominees for SSWAA's Legislator of the Year Award, recognize their contributions to advancing policies that support school social work, and conduct the committee's voting process.

6. Upcoming Advocacy Priorities & Next Steps: Identify opportunities for member engagement, discuss potential advocacy responses, and establish priorities as we prepare for the next congressional session. 

This meeting provides an opportunity for committee members to share perspectives, discuss national policy developments, and work collaboratively to strengthen advocacy efforts that support school social workers and the students and families they serve.
