On Wednesday, March 15, Gov. Jay Inslee signed the levy cliff bill, SB 5023<\/a>, preventing the largest funding cut to K-12 schools in state history. The legislation delays a scheduled reduction in the money school districts can collect through local property taxes already approved by voters.<\/p>\n

From the start of this legislative session, Senate Democrats fought day after day to bring the levy cliff bill up for a vote in an effort to prevent a $358 million cut to schools across our state. Finally, after countless calls, emails and personal visits from students, teachers, principals, superintendents, parents and others, Senate Republicans relented and allowed a vote last week on SB 5023<\/a>. The bill passed with only one vote in opposition.<\/p>\n

With passage of the levy cliff bill, Senate Democrats have cleared the path for the Legislature to focus on fully and fairly funding K-12 education in our state. We hope Republicans will join us in this effort to strengthen education for Washington\u2019s\u00a0 1.1 million students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
