Seattle PTA activist Heidi Bennett took time off work to drive down to Olympia and testify at the Quality Education Council (QEC) meeting on Nov. 3. The QEC is a state task force of legislators and policymakers working to shape the future of Washington’s public schools. They are charged with implementing the landmark education reforms in ESHB 2261.
Heidi gave impassioned remarks about the state of our public schools. She expressed her embarrassment that our state consistently underfunds basic education and graduates kids who are not prepared for life. Heidi called on the QEC to be bold, take the extra step and do what’s right to help our kids succeed in school and life.
