Education reform and funding is a hot topic right now.

Washington State is facing one of the most difficult budget deficits in decades. The decisions our state lawmakers make in the next Legislative session will impact the future of Washington’s schools and its one million children.

Although the budget situation is grim, we can still make progress toward building an education system that prepares every child for college, work and life.

Join us at a presentation by State Representative Ross Hunter on the progress of the Basic Education Finance Task Force to make major recommendations on what basic education is and how much it costs.

This public event is co-sponsored by the League of Education Voters, Seattle Council PTSA, Community & Parents for Public Schools and other education stakeholders.

WHEN
Monday, December 1, 2008

The result of this task force’s efforts and the outcomes of this upcoming Legislative session will determine whether public schools are on the right track to make changes to ensure that our kids graduate ready for college, job training and work.

Your voice and participation will help ensure our state lawmakers are listening to the needs of our children and schools in Washington State.
