Description
On Sunday, June 25th legislative leaders closed a session that was unprecedented for many reasons: a new Governor; over one-third of state lawmakers new to their positions; a record-breaking economic and revenue forecast; a walkout that lasted more than six weeks, bringing the Senate chamber to a standstill; and thousands of introduced bills.
Earlier in the spring, HSD had developed and adopted its 2023-24 budget assuming the legislature would approve state-level K-12 funding of $10.2 billion - the amount needed to meet our Current Service Level or CSL - but also having a contingency plan in the event of a lesser allocation to minimize the impact to students and families.
Thanks to the tireless work of advocates and their collaborative efforts to engage and inform legislators, by session’s end the State School Fund did stand at $10.2 billion for the 2023-25 biennium. Full funding for the Student Success and High School Success grants was also secured. Visit the Budget Matters page of our website for additional information.
Our featured event is - what else? - Back to School! Schools were abuzz with first-day excitement as students returned to classrooms after their summer break on September 5th and 6th. Check out our website for a gallery of selected images capturing the wide range of emotion and possibility for the year to come.
