2008 Legislative Platform

1. Redefine Basic Education (K-12) and fully fund it. Include in the definition four years of science, four years of math, world language fluency and technology.
2. Fund longer school days to accommodate the increased requirements in core subjects.
3. Fully fund all basic education components, including special education, transportation, and the additional instruction needed in order for all children to pass the WASL, since it is a condition for high school graduation.
4. Do not impose further restrictions for the use of I-728 dollars until basic education is fully funded.
5. Eliminate the disparities among districts in salary scales and levy lids that result in inequitable state funding and inequitable opportunities for local revenue generation.
6. Provide adequate support to ensure success for students in the Passage Point Project (YWCA).

Approved by the Issaquah School District Board of Directors at the November 7, 2007 board meeting.
