Unfortunately, HB 1226 (reducing the threshold to pass bonds from 60 percent to simple majority) failed to pass out of the fiscal committee by the cut off. This is not a surprise since this has been in the works for many years with little movement from our legislators. 

Read this week's full report from WSPTA for more information on which bills are moving forward, which ones are not progressing, enrollment stabilization funding, and much more.

Visit our advocacy page for more information and ways to get involved.

Any food donations to help us stock our food pantry are much appreciated. We use these items to provide weekly food bags to our food-insecure families at Bell.

There are multiple ways to help out:
