With the school bond failures in Kent, Steilacoom, Orting, So. Whidbey Island and Clarkston last month, KVI's John Carlson examines the message this sends from the voters. Carlson calls it voter "anger". The school levies are failing because of how voters feel after the COVID lockdowns and other issues connected to public education in WA, including administrative costs that are diverting money away from classrooms. Carlson concludes, the "public school establishment would quietly like to pretend this (the 5 levy failures) didn't happen".
