Washington State Legislature Must Fund Early Learning and Higher Education Too via Seattle Times Editorial Dec. 3 to Dec. 4, 2014

Many Thanks to the Seattle Times, for calling attention to the underfunding of higher education, which is leaving the majority of college instructors in poverty, and students with hefty loans.

 

"Originally published December 3, 2014 at 4:03 PM | Page modified December 4, 2014 at 9:05 AM      Editorial: Education funding needs to be for more than K-12

As state lawmakers address mandates to boost funding for kindergarten through 12th grade schools, they must also consider the needs of early learning and higher education students."
