Be sure to monitor the legislature’s votes, hearings and meetings at their website and, of course, stay tuned to the Hall Monitor for the latest news on Washington education bills, policy updates and decisions.

 

Right now is a crucial time to be informed and for good summaries of the issues associated with this year’s session, particularly in education, be sure to check out today’s Seattle Times and the Washington Roundtable.


P-20 tightens the seams

I don't know about you, but my December holidays went by way too fast. Busy shopping, busy cooking, and after a fun-filled day with friends, busy re-watching the highlights of the P-20 Council meeting at 10pm last night so I could write this blog. (Thanks, TiVo).


Reminder: Don’t miss this P-20 Council Meeting!

Fire up your engines or your television sets Washington ed observers! The P-20 Council will hold its second quarterly meeting this Friday, Dec. 21. Created by the Washington Learns committee to evaluate early learning, K-12, higher education and workforce preparation, the Council seeks to increase accountability in our education system.

P-20 Council Formed. Okay, Now What?
