Dear Senators Ericksen, Rivers, Rolfes, and Billig and Representatives Sullivan, Lytton, Magendanz and Smith:
I am a voter in Washington and the parent of a child in Seattle’s public schools. I urge the State to take speedy and decisive action to give all our children the amply funded education they deserve. As you know, Washington’s State Constitution mandates “it is the paramount duty of the State to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders.” In the McCleary case, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that our State is violating that Constitutional right, and that paramount duty means “the State must amply provide for the education of all Washington children as the State’s first and highest priority before any other State programs or operations.” The Supreme Court ordered the legislature to provide full ample funding by no later than the 2017-2018 school year.
I expect our elected officials, citizens, and students in our state to obey the law. Obeying the law means that State officials must fully fund education. Therefore, I urge you that our State must promptly and fully comply with the Supreme Court’s orders in the McCleary case
Regards,
Summer Stinson
