Call to action from Seattle Council PTSA

If not addressed by the legislature in Olympia, Seattle’s school funding from the state will be radically different next year due to enrollment declines during COVID-19. Urgent action by our lawmakers is needed to preserve teacher positions, transportation, and the overall capacity to resume a more normal educational experience when the time comes.

Contact your Legislators and ask for funding to address enrollment stabilization in the budget.   You can call the Legislative Hotline: 1.800.562.6000 and leave a message for your Legislators.  You can do this in your preferred language and your message will be translated for your Legislators.   You can also email your Legislators.  Find your Legislators by using the District Finder at  https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/

SCPTSA has a slide deck explaining the current budget situation in more detail here.
