Gregoire laments education cuts during Bellingham visit

The best ways parents can support their child's education and their school is to pass the tax levies and volunteer as much as possible, Gov. Chris Gregoire said Thursday, Nov. 3, while at Shuksan Middle School.
School districts around Washington are bracing for another round of budget cuts, after Gregoire unveiled a list of items to possibly remove from the state budget. Included in the $2 billion proposal is increasing class sizes, reducing or eliminating funding for intervention programs and reducing levy equalization funding for property-poor districts that can't raise much revenue through taxes.
