The Washington state Legislature must come up with a plan to amply fund K-12 education this year. But with multiple competing visions, can lawmakers find a way to compromise and meet the McCleary mandate in time? Why are school districts like Seattle planning budget cuts now? The new state schools superintendent and regional education leaders offer a progress report on the stalemate in Olympia and their reactions to proposals for fixing the public-education funding crisis.
