I am a teacher in White Center and a member of the Washington Education Association, NEA and SEA.
I oppose House Bill 1410 and Senate Bill 5444.
Our schools face huge funding cuts. Yet these bills do not include increased funding for schools.
They are a false funding promise and a distraction. We need more help from Olympia, not a bigger hindrance!
Higher education among teachers improves instruction and student learning, but this new legislation wouldn't compensate teachers for their advanced degrees. How can we pay back our student loans without compensation?
