Washington State Charter Schools Association (WA Charters)

Executive Director Chris Korsmo shares WA Charters’ vision for a fair, well-funded public education system in Washington—ensuring every student has the tools to succeed. https://lnkd.in/gBcZi6ZU

Last week, I joined a @league-of-education-voters’s panel discussion to talk about how WA Charters will be advocating for adequate, equitable funding for all public school students throughout the 2025 legislative session, which kicked off this week. What a tremendous panel! A strong public education system is the foundation for a healthy democracy, and we are committed to making sure all public \school students have the resources they need to thrive.  https://lnkd.in/gAkJwzT9

WA charter public schools are taking a different approach to education with flexible, student-centered approaches that help students thrive academically, socially, and personally. 🌟 Discover how they're making a real difference: https://lnkd.in/gWasPVPN #CharterPublicSchools #WACharters #ItMakesADifference
