*Lawmakers in Olympia are working to pass Senate Bill 6696, which will improve Washington’s ability to win a federal Race to the Top (R2T) grant of up to $250 million. LEV believes lawmakers should pass a stronger version of the bill that incorporates the goals outlined in this editorial by Renton School District’s superintendent to help our state win a R2T grant.
