It’s simple. Every child in the Snoqualmie Valley is worthy of the opportunity to learn in an uncrowded classroom. By voting YES on Initiative 1351, you will be providing our valley’s children with the kind of education they deserve.
Here’s why:
-
Washington ranks 47th out of 50 states in class size. 1351 moves us to the middle.
-
It makes common sense – lower class sizes make it easier for students to get the attention they need to succeed in school.
-
Small class sizes, which foster better connections between teachers and students, are the basic building blocks for academic success.
-
The initiative also increases the number of caring adults who help kids succeed in school every day. Teaching assistants, librarians, school counselors, and nurses are part of 1351.
As Snoqualmie Valley educators, we want the best for our students and ask you to vote YES on Initiative 1351 for smaller class sizes.
