We’re raising money for the public schools. Again. But this year something feels different. You may be wondering why we still need extra money if, according to the recent State Supreme Court decision, our state government must now fully fund K-12 education. And certainly money couldn’t be a real issue because we’re building a beautiful new high school, right?
As a Washington state tax payer, what part of K-12 schooling are you ready to cut? Electives in the high school and middle school? Appropriately sized classrooms? Librarians? Art? Or are none of these cuts acceptable?
