Today is a big day for education.
We are excited to release our 2009 Citizens’ Report Card on Washington State Education. And, the Basic Education Finance Task Force released their Final Report, which gives us the blueprint for moving forward.
Our 2009 Citizens’ Report Card, published every two years, shows where we made progress from early learning through higher education and where there is plenty to improve upon.
In the last two years, our grades have improved slightly. Our schools made progress, but budget cuts could jeopardize the gains in education. The next two years will reveal our collective commitment to our children and their future. It’s up to all of us to ensure children receive the education they need to succeed.
Change the world. Change our schools.
Our 2009 Citizens’ Report Card is a tool to empower you with information to engage your friends, colleagues and community members in improving our education system. And, with the Basic Education Finance Task Force’s Final Report, we now have a comprehensive plan for building a K-12 system that better prepares our children for college, work and life.
Help us reach more education advocates:
1. Watch for your copy of the 2009 Citizens’ Report Card on Washington State Education in your mailbox. Please share this with your family, friends and colleagues. If you’d like additional copies for PTA, school board or other community meetings, send us a request via email.
2. We’re mailing out more than 20,000 copies of our 2009 Citizens’ Report Card this week. Help us reach more parents, educators and community members with a donation of $25, $50 or $100 today.

The 2009 Citizens’ Report Card Grades Are In…
Posted on 13. Jan, 2009 by admin.
We are excited to announce the arrival of our 2009 Citizens’ Report Card on Washington State Education. We will officially release our Report Card at The New School in Seattle on Thursday, January 15th at 10 am.
Our biennial Citizens’ Report Card shows where there’s progress and where there’s plenty to improve upon. This is more than a publication. All too often publications sit on a shelf. Our Citizens’ Report Card is a tool to arm activists with the information we need to wake people up, get them involved in solutions, and educate policy makers along the way. We’re making sure the budget crisis doesn’t become an excuse for low standards.
Sorry I can’t tell you what the grades are right now (only two more days to wait), but you can request your Citizens’ Report Card today and we’ll put one in the mail for you right away. I promise!
Click here to email us your name, email address, and physical address.
Don’t forget to let us know how many you need!
