YOUR ACTION NEEDED: Ask State Officials to Prioritize Funding for Education

1/9/2025 11:59 am

Ask State Officials to Prioritize Funding for Education
 
This school year, Mercer Island School District (MISD) will be underfunded by the state by $7M. In addition, the state has capped the amount that MISD can raise through local levies. This is THE reason that parents are getting requests for donations from PTAs, booster clubs, and our local foundations, all of whom are working hard to fill this major funding gap so that we don't lose our counselors, our 5th grade band program, our arts and sports programs, our 7th class period at MIHS, etc. 
 
But YOU can make a difference by asking our legislators and governor to fund the full cost of basic education during THIS legislative session. Please consider signing this letter today: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/request-to-prioritize-school-funding

WA State PTA asks parents to vote NO on Initiatives 2109 & 2117 in November

9/13/2024 10:44 am

WA State PTA asks parents to vote NO on Initiatives 2109 & 2117 in November

 

Washington State PTA (WSPTA)  opposes both Initiative 2109 (to repeal capital gains tax) and Initiative 2117 (to repeal the climate commitment act) in the upcoming election. If passed, these initiatives together may equate to an estimated loss of $1 billion annually towards public school funding, based on what they brought in last year. To learn more details about why WSPTA opposes these initiatives click here!
