🧵Special Report: After the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, Seattle schools took the initiative to voluntarily integrate through busing and school choice policies. But today, some schools are more segregated than in the 1980s. #waedu st.news/schoolsegregat…

great read on current WA school funding system ⬇️ “As school districts face many fiscal uncertainties in the years ahead, state legislators need to address short-term challenges, while continuing to take on the broader inequities baked into the state public school finance system”
People are often surprised to hear Washington has a regressive school finance system. And now districts all over the state are struggling financially. We tried to sort out this messiness in this @seattletimes oped (w/ @UWCollegeOfEd doc student Kendall Fujioka). We hope… 1/n
…that more transparency and public understanding of how the system works will help build support for change. Please read/share! @educationlab @WSSDA @waOSPI @SeaPubSchools @EdVoters @EEC_WA @SESECWA @EdTrustWA @SchlFinance101 @DrMinSun @RoddyTheobald 2/2 seattletimes.com/opinion/post-m…
