Proposal To Reduce School Days
The Washington State PTA is very concerned about the governor's proposal that all Washington State K-12 public schools cut four school days from our current school calendar. If you would like more information or you would like to contact your legislators about this or any other education issue, you can click on the TAKE ACTION link from their advocacy page at www.wastatepts.org/advocacy.
Each of Washington's 49 districts has one Senator and two representatives. Lakeview Elementary is in the 48th Legislative District. Our Senator is Rodney Tom (tom.rodney@leg.wa.gov) and our two Representatives are: Ross Hunter (hunter.ross@leg.wa.gov) and Deborah Eddy (eddy.deborah@leg.wa.gov).
