It's For The Kids!
School Bond and Levy Feb. 2015
The notice in the mail reads, HERE"S THE TRUTH. Funny, but it feels a little like and "Easy-open package," you know, the kind you have to wrestle with for at least ten minutes and then you still cannot open it, even if you resort to using teeth. There may be a lot of truthful information here, but then, is it really full disclosure? You have to wonder...... Is it the TRUTH, or just what the sender wants you to know?
The directive is to "VOTE YES TWICE" The words on the yellow paper work to convince the reader that "Mead kids need" your vote of YES. It's an emotional plea, isn't it? (It always is!) "Help the children, please continue funding public schools."
We are told that the state only provides 77% of the District budget. The levy funds the remaining 23 %. Could the math really be that simple?
Hardly. It's interesting too that in this simple equation there is no mention of how much Federal fund in at use in our local public schools. with no mention of any federal funding in this mailing,one might recall how, last year, the Spokesman Review reported that in Washington there had been a decision made that took a chunk of federal funding, (about 40 million dollars,) out of the control of Spokane school officials. Bummer for them. Needless to say, schools didn't like the loss of funding control... and many didn't like the notion of parents choosing their child's school,or using outside rescources for learning... but your kids... are your buisness and their education is your choice.... and it's your job, to fund the schools. You can bet they like having your money in the form of taxes... "for the kids."
While the schools do get and use federal funds, they make it sound like all the funding they use comes from two sources; the state money allocated to the district's budget and your generous bond and levy funding. And while schools do accept and sometimes solicit, donations from parents and philanthropists, there is no mention of any private donations or grants or even business "donations"to a tax deductible charity...known as the local public school. There is no mention of any federal funding either..
We are told that the bond is needed to upgrade "all" facilities and implement them with new security enhancements, build new schools, and purchase land for future school sites. It's not for the economy, it's not for the peace of mind for staff and parents, nope. It's not for school administrators, teacher salaries or job security for staff and planners who work in the system to make it the best it can be, those have to think about the future of public education in general. It's not so that the parents can go to work, make a living and pay bills know the kids are being taken care of in a good and competent school...... No, the "truth" is, it's "for the kids"
We are also encouraged to renew a levy, to maintain "superior learning programs, "and this is also "for the kids," but what these programs are or might be is left to our imagination. We are not told specifically what programs these are, just given superlative adjectives. It sure seems odd too, that the state funding would not be being used to provide these anonymous "learning programs" used in schools for kids. We are also informed that levies support athletics and activities, but we have no idea of what thee activities might be...
All we are told as voters who have received this yellow paper in the mail is that the schools can use the money and "Vote yes, twice... It's "for the kids."

Homeschooling or Not Homeschooling?
Washington: Your Calls Needed to Help Pass SB5142
Senate Bill 5142 , not drafted by HSLDA, (Home School Legal Defense Association) was introduced on January 17, 2011, and passed the Senate 48-0 on February 28. It is currently scheduled for an executive session in the House Committee on Education at 8:00 a.m. on March 24.
It is a rather timely issue as just this last week I personally have seen two instances of the local public school "officials" calling these parent partnership programs they host within their own facilities, :homeschooling" when they are actually NOT homeschool, but "public school" programs.
Currently,there is a push to cut government spending by stopping these Alternative Learning Experience programs and people in them are, of course, sad that they might end and they are rallying support for the program. In doing do some call them homeschool programs. It must be known and made clear to everyone that these are NOT "homeschooling" programs. The public needs to know that "Homeschoolers" take NO money from the state in order to school their kids at home!
So if you hear about Parnt partnership programs at you local public school.... or "homeschool programs in the public school." BEWARE. Guess what? There is no such thing....
Your tax dollars pay for those kids in the parent partnership program to go skiing, while the school does not even provide paper and crayons and glue for your regular classroom child, but those kids are not homeschoolers; they are not being homeschooled as defined by the home based education law. Children and their parents enrolled in a PPP or ALE, are public school students!
This Bill will help make it clear the difference between these public school programs and home based education... which is HOMESCHOOL!
HSLDA recently sent out this E-Alert:
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:
We need your help to get Senate Bill 5142 out of the House Education Committee. The Committee has schedule an executive work session on the bill for March 24, and we would like to see the bill passed out with a favorable recommendation.
Senate Bill 5142 clarifies that alternative learning experience (ALE) programs are public school programs and that a student enrolled full-time in an ALE program is a full-time public school student. The bill prohibits these ALE programs from promoting themselves as homeschool programs and requires them to provide honest information about what they are.
Currently some ALE programs in Washington promote themselves as home-based education because they allow much of the actual instruction to be provided by parents. This has led some parents in these programs to assume that they are homeschooling their children. However, under state law an ALE program is considered an extension of public school. Everything with these programs, from the instruction time required to the curriculum used, is not up to the parents but is up to public school officials. While many of these ALE programs are friendly to homeschoolers, if a student is enrolled full-time in the program, the student is a public school student.
Senate Bill 5142 does not change what ALE programs are; they have always been public school programs. However, the bill does require ALE programs to be clearer in what they tell parents. Since this bill provides more information to allow parents to make an informed decision, we support this bill.
Please contact the House Education Committee members listed below to urge them to support this bill. If you are able to contact all of the members before March 24, that would help ensure that this bill passes out of the committee.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1) Please call and email the House Education Committee members listed below and give them this message in your own words:
"Please vote in favor of Senate Bill 5142. This bill helps ensure that parents are given all the information about alternative learning experience programs. Parents should be able to know whether their child is a full-time or part-time public school student. Thank you for supporting SB 5142."
