A Call to Action

As you know, Washington ranks 45th in the nation in per-pupil spending and has the 46th largest class sizes in the country.

Our state continues to fall behind other states in providing the necessary funding to educate our students.

To address this issue, the WEA-Cascade UniServ Council has created a film entitled "A Call to Action". This film illustrates how underfunding impacts students, teachers, administrators and programs. Many classified and certified members have been showing the film to parent and community groups to raise awareness about the struggles we face because basic education is not adequately funded.

Please take a few moments (during non-work time) to watch "A Call to Action". It can be accessed by clicking on the link below.
