WHY are we needed?

► Despite recent gains in education funding, we remain near the bottom of all Washington state school districts in per pupil funding.

► 16 million has been cut from the District budget over the past four years. Only $4 million has been recovered.

► Private support is the only way to ensure the District has the resources required to give students the dynamic, 21st century

education they need to succeed.
