Start funding K-12 public education now. Begin with reducing overcrowed class sizes.
Why is this important?
In its January, 2012, McCleary decision, the state Supreme Court ordered the state to fully fund K-12 public schools as required by the Washington Constitution. In December, 2012, the Supreme Court chastised the legislature for its inaction on complying with the McCleary decision. Senators Rodney Tom, and Steve Litzow, among others, continue to promote a slate of bad bills that have nothing to do with complying with the Supreme Court's ruling. Washington is now ranked 43rd in student spending, $2,700 below the national average. It is time for the WA State Legislature to start obeying the law, beginning with reducing overcrowded class sizes
