Op-Ed: Here we go again: Washington's education establishment wants more cash

This is not a reprint of a story 10 or even 20 years ago – although it sure could be. Washington state's education establishment is getting ready to file yet another lawsuit demanding taxpayers spend more money on K-12 education. And the news just so happens to come in the wake of the failure of I-645, which would have repealed Washington's new income tax. Now that the income tax has survived (for now), it's time to belly up to the taxpayer buffet. According to reports, the Lake Washington, Tacoma and Yakima school districts are preparing to sue the state claiming it fails "to fund basic education." But here's the problem: Washington state doesn't underfund K-12 education. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, school district general fund spending reached $19,371 per pupil in 2024–25. A decade earlier, in 2015–16, it was $11,450. That is an increase of roughly 69%. For a classroom of 25 students, that is a whopping $484,275. This data does not include local spending on K-12, which adds hundreds of millions more. On top of this, Washington’s public schools are serving fewer students. The state’s Office of Financial Management reports K–12 enrollment of approximately 1.071

‘Targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.' Fuerza teachers, parents voice leadership concerns

Elida Alvarez poured her heart into her job teaching at Fuerza Elementary School , and even helped build the school’s 4th grade dual language program. The school was “never just a workplace,” she told the Kennewick School Board during a Nov. 4 public meeting . “It was a community. I believed in the program, and I was proud of it,” she said. But things changed after Alvarez experienced “one of the most difficult experiences” of her teaching career last school year. “I experienced what I believe was a pattern of intimidation, unfair treatment, excessive micromanagement and unprofessional conduct by the head administrator,” she alleged. The emotional toll became “impossible to hide,” and she began to feel “targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.” “Every day, I tried to walk into my classroom with a positive attitude and give my students the teacher they deserved,” Alvarez said, fighting through tears. “But behind that smile, I was struggling.” “My students saw me crying, noticed my anxiety and would even warn me when the administrator was approaching. Think about that for a moment — children came to school to learn, yet they were worried about protecting their own teacher. No child should ever feel the responsibility
