Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to fully fund K-12 education by ensuring that SB 5263 (Special Education), SB 5192 (MSOC Funding), and SB 5187 (Transportation) all pass out of the Ways & Means Committee without reductions or delays. These bills are critical to ensuring Washington’s students receive the resources enshrined by the Washington State Constitution. 
For too long, our schools have struggled with inadequate funding for special education, rising operating costs, and insufficient transportation funding that disproportionately impacts families who rely on bus services. These “Big Three” bills address fundamental gaps in our education system and it is essential that the legislature funds them in full—not as a compromise, but as a commitment to Washington’s children.
Any reduction or failure to pass these bills will be poorly received by families in our communities who have been calling for increased education funding for years. Washington is one of the wealthiest states in the nation. There is no excuse for underfunding public education while families and educators are being forced to make impossible choices due to budget shortfalls.
I urge you to prioritize our students and ensure that all three bills advance fully funded out of Ways & Means. All eyes are pointed at Olympia and are intently watching to see how our representatives take action for our children and our future. 
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to public education.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Summary

The Big 3 (SB 5263 - Special Education, SB 5192 - MSOC Funding, and SB 5187 - Transportation) must pass out of committee by the end of this week. Only SB 5263 and SB 5192 are currently scheduled for a vote! This is unacceptable. The funding contained in these bills is essential. We must ensure that Washington public schools receive the funding they need to educate our children. Take action today and make your voice heard! Sign the letter to the right to send a message to your state senator to urge them to ensure that all three bills advance fully funded out of Ways & Means. Together, we can secure a better future for every student. Please note that the name of your legislator will not populate when you enter your address. It will be added after you click "Send email."
