Advocacy in Action!
WSPTA President Angela Steck testified in both the House Appropriations and Senate Ways & Means committees on Monday and Tuesday, sharing members’ disappointment with the lack of investments in K-12 education in outgoing Gov. Jay Inslee’s operating budget proposal.
Steck focused on the Big 3 – MSOC (materials, supplies, and operating costs), special education, and transportation – and asked legislators to prioritize Constitutionally-protected funding for basic education in their final budgets. Angela was one of more than a dozen speakers coalesced around these priorities.
