Panel Approves Alternative Bill For WA School-funding Fixes

(Olympia, WA)  --  An alternative deadline for developing court-ordered school-funding fixes in Washington is moving through the legislative process.  Republicans on the Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education committee altered Senate Bill 6195 to require work on a funding plan to be completed by 2018.  A bill passed by the Democratic-majority House earlier this week contains a plan to have it done by 2017.  "The Olympian" reports Governor Jay Inslee wants lawmakers to have a plan in place by 2017 so money to fund the plan can be found in time for the 2017-18 school year.
