The first big movement on McCleary in the
legislature was the release of Governor Inslee's budget last December.
His version fully funded MSOC, and jump started the K-3 class size
reductions and all day Kindergarten for the 2016 school year. Now it is
the House's turn to pitch their version of the budget, which is expected to be
unveiled the week of March 30th, but could come as early as next week.
The PTA is hoping that the plan may address fully funding teacher compensation and that levies should pay for extras, not funding portions of basic education. This will, however, be an expensive ask and we may need to come out fighting for the changes that our kids need. Expect more information on how you can help at a later date.
