I'm sure the white supremacist at the RW "think" tank has no issues with the Texas GOP sending chaplains into public schools to indoctrinate kids in their "christianity" instead of having school counselors. 🙄

I opted not to go into school today to work on getting my classroom ready for the start of school. So much unpaid labor to get a classroom ready for a new year! I did make an IKEA run this morning because the custodian destroyed one of my shelves & I had to replace it.

So...school weather station said it got to 86°F outside. It was 87°F inside my classroom today by the time kids left at 3:35. We don't have A/C & we don't have windows that open.

"Special Report: After the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, schools took the initiative to voluntarily integrate through busing and school choice policies. But today, some schools are more segregated than in the 1980s."

This was preventable but did not pass an operating budget that amply funded public schools, so now is being cut, in violation of Article IX of the Washington State Constitution.

This is not what voters want.

@Olyindivisible We'll see how much it actually amounts to once the funding is divvied up. still avoided many more meaningful actions like getting rid of the supermajority for school bonds, adjusting the "prototypical school" formula so that districts are allocated more than a .6 psych for 14 schools, fixing the levy swipe, retooling the "regionalization" factor, & restoring the staff salary mix.

Note that Washington state has 3 - yes THREE! - public high school jazz bands as finalists in the Essentially Ellington competition. More than any other state!
Congrats to Bothell HS, Roosevelt HS, & Garfield HS bands!

And the kicker...
"The hope is that, by draining public money away from ordinary public schools and into charter schools, conservatives can destroy the former and leave parents with no options other than putting their kids in schools that are geared towards right-wing indoctrination."
