What's your vision for education? How do you want it funded?
Legislators on the Education Funding Task Force (EFTF) will be meeting in Olympia on 9/6 from 10:00am – 12:00pm. The first report from the consultant to the Task Force is due September 1st. We anticipate this hearing will involve a report back and discussion of the consultants report. Additionally, at the last EFTF meeting, Senator Ann Rivers asked everyone to come back with, “a vision for education.”
This is your chance to speak up!
We are organizing Washington Paramount Duty supporters - in force - delivering a message - loud and clear:
We need more money to fully fund basic education - shifting levy dollars around won’t solve the problem – we need a real, stable, fair solution that will protect other basic services.

We can’t do it without you:
We want to recruit parents and our allies from around the state to take the day, join the action in Olympia and be heard. This is a great opportunity for us to let legislators, the media and our local communities know: We can no longer afford to delay - full funding for basic education must happen now — and the legislature needs to raise new revenues to get the job done!
