Smart Bombs: Homework on education needed
You can’t fully understand the complexities of funding basic education without reading the two bills the Legislature adopted to accomplish this constitutional mandate. ESHB 2261 and SHB 2776 were passed in 2009 and 2010. I recommend reading both to discover what this controversy isn’t about. It isn’t about complying with two voter-approved class-size initiatives, I-728 and I-1351. Nor is it about I-732, the initiative that called for teachers to receive an annual cost-of-living adjustment. It isn’t about Common Core or “excessive” student testing. It isn’t about a lot of issues mentioned by teachers during their May walkout to protest legislative inaction.
