I watched the voucher system take off in Seattle. Private schools that already upper-class families could afford were siphoning money away from public schools. Struggling schools, particularly in lower income and POC populations had their districts carved out from wealthier ones. They were left to starve as the lower property tax revenue struggled to keep the lights on.
Early education (and access to it) is a foundation. We all know what happens if there isn’t a strong foundation. Push your representatives (Dems and Rep) to reject this budget. Let’s not allow even more class warfare to be sewn into the upcoming generation. Working folks (that includes most of us) need available, affordable early education.
