Live blogging: Achievement Gap Advisory Committee

Posted by Heather

During lunch, Jennifer Priddy of OSPI gave a presentation on school funding in Washington and the work of the Basic Education Finance Task Force. Jennifer’s presentation is not online yet, but a similar PowerPoint is available here (slides 1-18). Much of Jennifer’s presentation focused on staffing ratios and Learning Assistance Program funding (two big drivers of school funding). The committee seemed to take to heart the funding crunch facing districts and asked some policy questions, specifically about funding and CORE 24.
