KILL the proposed education reform for the State legislature signal an opportunity to get real work done this session.
Rep. Eric Pettigrew, D-Seattle and Senator Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, giving it a bipartisan and bicameral approach to smart reform. Their Proposal would allow Charter schools, established a process to intervene when the school failed and continue to strengthen the review of the performance of the principal and teachers.
Expect a contentious debate. In particular, the Union of teachers see Charter schools as a threat. Yes, Washington State voters rejected the Charter School proposal three times. But we know a lot about the public schools of this innovative since the last measure failed in 2004.
