In Week 6 of the 2025 Washington State legislative session, we delve into the status of the Big 3 funding priorities for public education: special education, pupil transportation, and MSOC (materials, supplies, and operating costs). With the first policy cutoff approaching on February 21st, any bill not passed out of its policy committee by then will be considered dead for the year—though exceptions exist.
Megan Larkin shares insights on how to advocate for the Big 3 bills, emphasizing the importance of contacting key legislators and maintaining pressure to get bills scheduled for executive action.
We also recap Focus Day, where education advocates gathered in Olympia, demonstrating strong support for the Big 3 priorities. With legislative deadlines looming, staying engaged remains critical to securing full funding for public education.
Stay tuned as we continue this journey through the fiscal cutoff and beyond.
