Forum to discuss education


January 16, 2013 · 4:49 PM

 

The League of Education Voters will host an education funding forum Jan. 22 with Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina) and Sen. Steve Litzow (R-Mercer Island) on their competing visions for education funding in Washington state.

The forum will include a brief explanation of the current budget shortfall in this biennium and an explanation of the costs of meeting the McCleary decision, which mandates adequate educational funding.

The forum is free, but people are asked to register at info@educationvoters.org.

The forum will be from 7-8:30 p.m. at the King County Library Administrative Building, 960 Newport Way NW, Issaquah.
