We will build understanding of how Washington state provides funding resources to support students with a focus on inequities in our funding structures. In service of building an equitable funding system in Washington we need to broaden understanding of the extent of the inequities and cut through the complicated formulas that fund schools in Washington to build community support for a new way to fund schools. Attendees will share their experiences, perspectives, and vision for the future as we learn and share around funding equity and how current resourcing inequity impacts school communities.
