Town Hall on School Funding Crisis

Students, families, teachers and the Eastside community are encouraged to attend a Town Hall on the School Funding Crisis! We need our community to show up to push legislators for a fully-funded education system. The state of Washington continues to fall short of its paramount, constitutional duty to fully fund basic K-12 education and our schools are facing a serious budget crisis.

 

Join a unified voice of PTAs, school district leaders, and educators from Bellevue, Mercer Island, Lake Washington, Issaquah and Renton on Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue from 7:00-8:30 pm. 

 

Chris Reykdal, the WA State Superintendent of Public Instruction, along with WA State legislators will join as we educate our communities about the state's education funding model vs. actual costs and the impacts of inflation combined with underfunding in three main categories including Special Education, MSOC (materials, supplies and operating costs), and transportation.

 

Your voice is essential as we seize this historic opportunity to transform education in Washington state. We need YOU and we need your VOICE!
