State Board of Education Chair Isabel Muñoz-Colón issued the following statement on Gov. Inslee’s recent proposal to increase school funding:
“It’s clear to me that Gov. Inslee recognized the urgency to provide each and every student in the state access to quality education and is investing in closing opportunity gaps for our historically underserved populations. Under his plan, the state will invest in K-12 education to help students in the classroom now, and to attract the best educators for the next generation of students. I want to thank him for his leadership on teacher retention and professional development, as well as his proposal’s significant investments in the whole student through social and emotional health.”
