OUR state’s founders had a vision. They called education the “paramount duty” of the state and inscribed it into the state constitution.
Thanks to that vision, we live in a state that promises a meaningful education — for each and every child. We believe the pathway to providing that opportunity is a high-quality public-education continuum, from early learning through postsecondary education. That pathway begins with identifying what works and funding it.
In 2009, the League of Education Voters supported the expansion of “basic education” in ESHB 2261, which increased the state’s funding of public education for the first time in 30 years.
