Central & North Seattle Schools PTA Alliance
Central & North Seattle Schools PTA Alliance (CANSSPA) was formed to address equity in education in Central and North Seattle schools. In 2023, VEPTSA members voted to officially participate in CANSSPA, supporting their 3 pillars: Information sharing and community building, Resource sharing, and Collective advocacy.
