Fall is around the corner! Join our events across Washington state As summer wraps up and we’re all thinking about Back to School, League of Education Voters is reaching out to communities and planning events to get everyone fired up about the work ahead.
To that end, as part of the Investing in Student Potential coalition that advocates for students who need special education services, we’re hosting community listening sessions around Washington to help design a K-12 system where every student gets what they need, when they need it. Did you know that over 155,000 students in WA are eligible for some type of special education support? Kids with ADHD, ASD, anxiety, intellectual disabilities, and others may need more support to learn and achieve. Washington's outcomes for these students are not what they should be - and we are leaning in as an organization to support advocates and tackle policy solutions. Join parents, students, educators, policy experts, and local advocates at one of our events and join the coalition. Together, we will imagine a better future for special education in Washington state. Also, we hope can join us at our Seattle annual luncheon October 1st and our Spokane annual breakfast October 29th. Learn why Investing in ages 0-8 is a Game Changer. National expert Marquita Davis, Deputy Director of Early Learning for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will highlight challenges and solutions before us to strengthen early learning. And in Seattle, we are delighted to announce guest speaker Governor Jay Inslee! See info below, as you read more about our work. | |
