5. Recent Supreme Court Order
“The court concludes that the State is adequately funding categorical components of the basic education program in accordance with ESHB 2261 & SHB 2776.” (p. 36)
“At this point, the court is willing to allow the State’s program to operate and let experience be the judge of whether it proves adequate.” (p. 37)
“As things stand today, the salary allocation model enacted in EHB complies with the State’s obligation to fully fund K-12 basic education salaries, but it will not be implemented by Septtember1, The State thus remains out of compliance with its constitutional duty…the court will retain jurisdiction to ensure full compliance by the established deadline, and it will maintain the sanction…” (p. 43)

12. Supt. Reflections
Don’t expect too much from the 2018 legislative session in terms of increased ed. funding beyond what they have already committed to.
“McCleary Fatigue” factor
Our local patrons want to support their local schools.
Most “new” money is going to be “categorical”.
A Capital Projects Levy (Technology, Safety, Security, & Facilities Levy) and a Transportation Levy would help the District maintain current programs and minimize the negative impacts of

13. Supt. Recommendations
Present a Capital Projects Levy – actually a Technology, Safety, Security, and Facilities Improvement Capital Projects Levy and run it for 6 years. Put this on the February, 2018 ballot
Present a Transportation Vehicle Levy and run it for 2 years. Put this on the February, 2018 ballot
Enlist the assistance of Attorney Jim McNeil to ensure the wording on each resolution is correct and legal
Considerable work needs to be done on educating our community on why this is important
At the end of the day, ensure that the overall tax rate is lower then it currently is and that it stays as “level” as we can make it
