GREETING

Greetings from our Presidents!
Welcome to the NEW 2025 WASA/WSSDA/WASBO Legislative Conference!

As we prepare for the start of the 69th biennial legislative session on Monday, our legislative
priorities are clear, united, and well-communicated to key legislators. With our collaborative
efforts and early organization, we're ready to advocate for:

« Special Education

« Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC)

¢ Pupil Transportation

This year, in response to your feedback, we've re-imagined this conference to better equip you
for the session ahead:

* Designed for deeper learning and greater interaction

* Timed to position you for advocacy throughout the entire session

* Conveniently located to facilitate travel for more attendee

We're also thrilled to welcome Tami Pyfer, Chief of Staff and VP External for UNITE, co-author
of the Dignity Index, and former Education Policy Advisor to Utah Governor Gary Herbert. With
her extensive experience in education policy, coalition building, and stakeholder engagement,
Tami will share strategies to advocate for public education in ways that:

* Ease divisions

* Prevent violence, and

¢ Solve challenges.

Through keynote presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, you'll gain
new insights, advocacy skills, and a deeper understanding of our shared priorities. These tools
will help you engage effectively with legislators—not only during this session but throughout

the year.

A united voice, rooted in common messages, Is crucial to achieving a brighter future for every

steps to influence policymakers and secure the resources your students deserve.

K-12 FUNDING BASICS

Dan Steele, Assistant Executive Director for Governmental Relations, WASA

Washington's K-12 funding system is complex and often misunderstood. This breakout
session will crack the code to understanding the key, foundational elements of education
finance. As we advocate for ample funding for the “Big Three,” having a basic understanding
of K-12 funding will help you better understand how special education, MSOC, and pupil
transportation connect with the overall system.

Give examples (tell your “stories”).
Follow up.

Don’t assume legislators know more than they do.
Avoid education jargon and acronyms.
Don’t be too informal.

Avoid “information overload.”

Make sure you have a specific “ask.”

Say “thank you”—for their time; for their consideration; for their support; or just for
their service.

WASA LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM

=WASA BAYA: Legislative Platform

LEADERSHIP | TRUST | ADVOCACY

“Tt is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision
the education of all children residing within its borders...”
—Article IX, Section 1, Washington State Constitution

School administrators acknowledge the Legislature’s efforts to fully fund basic education, including the provision
of significant additional funding in the last ten years. Nevertheless, funding for at least three major components
of basic education—Special Education, Pupil Transportation, and Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs
(MSOC)—continue to be dramatically underfunded.

School administrators are committed to ensuring each and every student is provided with equitable learning
environments where they can learn and achieve their educational goals and aspirations. In pursuit of this commitment,
WASA urges the 2025 Legislature to fulfill their obligation to fully fund the following Basic Education programs:

Special Education

The 2025 Legislature must fully fund the cost of special education services. School districts have a legal
obligation to serve all students with disabilities in Washington, regardless of cost of services, yet they do not have
the necessary resources to provide those services. Even with recent funding enhancements, the gap between school
district expenditures for special education and related services substantially exceeds funding—and continues to
grow. This gap requires districts to continue to use local funding sources, including local levies, to cover necessary
costs. To ensure school districts are provided with funding that reflects the actual costs of service delivery, the
Legislature must increase special education tiered multipliers and remove the arbitrary enrollment funding cap.

Pupil Transportation

The 2025 Legislature must promptly fulfill its obligation to comprehensively fix the pupil transportation
formula to ensure it is more transparent, predictable, and adequately funded. The intent of the current Student
Transportation Allocation Reporting System (STARS) is to allow the Legislature to allocate funding to districts
that aligns with actual costs of providing school transportation services. Regardless of the intent, the STARS
formula has consistently underfunded districts’ actual pupil transportation expenditures. The STARS formula
cannot forecast allocations with credible accuracy, calculates a final allocation in February which complicates
budget decisions for school districts and the Legislature, and uses an efficiency rating that is detrimental to efficient
districts because they are at risk of less funding in the model.

Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC)

The 2025 Legislature must immediately address the significant underfunding of allocations for Materials,
Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC). While staffing represents the largest expense for school districts, there
are many costs to running a school district which are non-staff related. The Legislature provides an allocation to
cover these costs by providing for Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC) at a specific rate per student;
however, state funding for MSOC has not kept pace with actual school district costs. Liability insurance alone has
increased over 100 percent in the last five years, while utility costs have increased more than 40 percent. Other
costs, such as food and fuel, have also increased dramatically. Current per pupil rates for Materials, Supplies, and
Operating Costs simply do not come close to matching costs of running a school district. These costs are increasing
through no fault of School Districts, superintendents or school boards and their decisions. When required costs of
running a school district exceed state funding, local revenues, mostly levies, must be used to fill the gap, reducing
local resources for school district and community expectations.

ae eAWSYAN Legislative Priorities

LEADERSHIP | TRUST | ADVOCACY

School administrators will focus their advocacy efforts in the 2025 Legislative Session on the full funding of
basic education—specifically Special Education, Pupil Transportation, and Materials, Supplies, and Operating
Costs (MSOC). As school districts face increasing financial difficulties, however, school administrators
have ongoing concerns about the state’s K-12 funding structure that must be addressed. These issues must
continue to remain on legislators’ radar:

Update Staff Allocations

WASA urges the Legislature to continue to provide for more realistic staffing ratios in the Prototypical
School Funding Model (PSFM). The Prototypical School Funding Model is a core, fundamental part of the
education funding structure. The funding ratios for most staff positions, however, have remained the same
since the Model was first implemented in 2010, resulting in outdated and unrealistic state-funded staffing
levels. The first priority must be the completion of implementation of Phase I of the recommendations
from the Staffing Enrichment Workgroup (2019): improving staffing allocations for critically needed school
principals; providing additional professional development to close achievement gaps; and adding continuous
improvement coaches as an enhancement to the PSFM.

Modify Regionalization/Experience Factor

WASA urges the Legislature to immediately revamp the methodology of regionalization and experience
factors to ensure school districts receive more consistent and equitable resources. The current regionalization
methodology of using housing costs is flawed and the implementation of experience factors is unsound.
The current calculation of these factors has exacerbated inequities between districts and must be updated
swiftly.

Reform Levy/Local Effort Assistance

Inequities between districts were exacerbated by capping levy authority of property rich districts at a higher
level than neighboring property poor districts—while diminishing levy capacity for all districts at the same
time. Spiking housing values are negatively impacting many districts’ efforts to adopt levies and are causing
many districts eligible for Local Effort Assistance (LEA) to lose funding—or lose eligibility all together.
Legislators have consistently stated their intent to “reform” levy/LEA policies; however, action has yet to
be taken.

Support Capital Facilities

WASA urges the Legislature to provide robust and reliable funding for school facilities, including funding
for school districts that have difficulty passing local bonds or have limited debt capacity to support necessary
new construction or modernization. While WASA appreciates the recent update in the Construction Cost
Allowance, the Legislature must continue to enhance the state’s investment in K-12 construction by updating
the antiquated, pre-1980 funding formulas to ensure funding more closely reflects actual construction costs
and educational space needs. Additionally, the Legislature must finally give Washington’s citizens the
opportunity to decide whether school district bond issues should be approved with a simple majority vote.

_\ | /_ Outdated Funding
- — Formulas Force Cuts and
Strain Schools

Our public education system is operating without the staff or resources needed to serve students and many districts are
being forced to cut staff further as the funding crisis gets more dire. With fewer staff to respond to students’ changing
needs and without the resources needed to implement the mounting list of state laws, more and more of our districts
will join the list of those under enormous financial strain. Full, ample, sustainable, and equitable funding is paramount to
fulfill all aspects of Washington’s Program of Basic Education and close opportunity gaps. To support equitable learning
and to implement the laws that have already been enacted, districts must receive funding that is full, ample, sustainable,
and equitable in the following priority areas:

Underfunded and Underserved: SPED Shortfall Impacts All Students

Solution: Increase the tiered multipliers, advance inclusionary practices, and remove the enrollment
funding cap.

Inflation Crunch: Materials Priced Out of Reach

Solution: Increase the Materials, Supplies, and Operating Costs (MSOC) allocations to reflect rising and
uncontrollable costs to include a one-time stabilization to eliminate underfunding and adjust the future
allocations by inflation; rebase the MSOC formula at least every four years to ensure allocations keep
up with cost increases that are beyond a district's control.

Loss of Vital Staff: Outdated Prototypical Model Forces Deep Cuts

Solution: Update and fund the prototypical school funding model to ensure that districts have the staff
needed to serve each and every student within their care.

Students Stranded: Transportation Formula is Out of Date
Solution: Update the Student Transportation Allocation formula to reflect and cover actual costs.

Providing the legally required and
ethically necessary supports and
services for students with disabilities
requires resources. However, the
cost to respond to students’ needs
exceeds current funding. As a result,
some students are not receiving

all the support they need to be
successful. Additionally, the lack of
needed resources forces comprises
that impact overall district functions,
such as staff and program cuts. This
funding inequity has a ripple effect on
students throughout the system. By
supporting students with disabilities,
each and every student benefits
from an inclusive and adequately
resourced learning environment.

Districts must buy materials
and equipment to support
learning, as well as pay

the bills, but don’t receive
sufficient resources to

do either through the
outdated MSOC allocations.
Recent and significant
inflation has impacted all
operating costs including,
but not limited to, utilities
and insurance. The rising
costs of all MSOC categories
have forced districts to
choose between providing
vital programs for students
and covering standard
expenses.

In both rural and urban and
large and small districts, more

staff with diverse backgrounds

and skills are needed to
provide relevant instruction
and timely instructional
supports. Even before the

pandemic, the state allocation

to cover salaries, benefits,
and pension programs for
necessary staffing levels was
out-of-date and insufficient;
students’ changing
instructional demands over
recent years has widened
the already concerning gap
between staff support and
student need.

“Educational equity can only exist when a student’s level of opportunity and achievement cannot
be predicted based on race, characteristics, or circumstances. Therefore, we must identify and
eliminate any discriminatory practices and prejudices within our state’s public education system.”

—WSSDA’s member-adopted position on educational equity

2025 WASA + WSSDA * WASBO LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE | 22

School buses provide
transportation for
students so that

they can access
instruction. Yet, the
allocation to fund
school transportation
is woefully out-of-
step with actual costs.
Student transportation
includes both the
familiar yellow school
buses, as well as

less traditional, cost-
effective resources for
students experiencing
homelessness.

Officials (WASBO) advocates for the following
legislative actions to ensure sustainable funding for
the K-12 public education finance system:

CIAL
CIAL 2025 KEY PRIORITIES
Increase MSOC Funding
Fully Fund Special Education
Enhance Pupil Transportation Funding

Fully Fund Substitute Costs

Updates to these priorities are essential to
safeguarding district resources and ensuring local
levies can enhance education rather than filling
funding gaps for basic operational needs.

PUPIL
TRANSPORTATION

While staffing remains the largest school
district expense, non-staff costs are
significant. The Legislature provides
funding for these through MSOC ata set
rate per student, but this funding has not
kept up with actual district expenses. For
example:

Despite the Legislature’s investments over the
last 5 years, Special Education remains
underfunded, forcing districts to rely on local
levies to meet state and federal mandates.

To ensure students are not negatively
impacted, WASBO urges the Legislature to
fully fund Special Education by:
e Insurance costs have increased by

over 100% in five years. e Increasing tiered multipliers
e Utility costs have risen by more than ¢ Eliminating the enrollment cap

40%. e Removing the safety net threshold

With these increasing costs, MSOC
funding falls short, forcing districts to rely
on local levy revenue meant to enhance
education - not cover basic costs like
insurance and utilities. These are not
“enhancements” but essential expenses.
Paying for basic costs often comes at the
expense of building maintenance and
other critical needs.

WASBO urges the Legislature to
increase MSOC funding to reflect actual
district expenses, ensuring that essential
services are covered without straining
local levies.

Both the enrollment cap and the safety net
threshold are policy decisions made by the
Legislature that are neither required nor
consistent with providing a free, appropriate
public education to our students.

representing 1,800 members involved in school finance and operations.

2025 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES

We appreciate the Legislature’s continued provision of additional
funding to address the excess costs of transporting special
passengers, such as special education, foster, and McKinney-
Vento students. However, over the past five years, most districts
have received transportation allocations that fall short of
covering their actual costs, creating significant funding gaps.

Much of this gap stems from the current formula, which does not
fully account for the unique needs and higher costs associated
with special passengers.

4 /ih HY
t ih i pr
WASBO urges the Legislature to:
e Increase dedicated funding for transporting special
passengers
¢ Create a data-driven safety net process that offers flexibility
for districts with unique transportation needs not covered by
the existing formula.

These changes are crucial to ensuring that districts can meet
their transportation obligations without having to rely on local
funds to fill the gaps.

> FULLY FUND SUBSTITUTE COSTS (FOR REQUIRED STAFF LEAVE)

Under RCW 28A.400.300, school districts are required to provide a minimum of 10 days of
leave for both classified and certificated staff. However, the state currently only provides
funding for certificated teacher substitutes for 4 days per basic education-funded teacher FTE
at a rate of $151.86 per day, which equates to approximately $16 per hour.

At this time, there is no funding received for classified substitutes. This leaves a significant
gap in covering the actual cost of substitutes, forcing districts to use local levy funds or other
resources to meet this shortfall. In addition, school districts are also required to provide sick
leave to substitutes under state law, further increasing the financial burden on districts
without additional funding from the state.

WASBO urges the Legislature to fully fund the costs associated
with required staff leave by:
e Increasing the number of substitute days funded to reflect
the actual minimum leave required by law (10 days per FTE).
¢ Provide funding for substitute costs for all staff FTE funded
e Adjusting the daily substitute rate to align with actual
market rates and local cost-of-living factors, ensuring
districts can secure qualified substitute teachers.
e Providing additional funding to cover the cost of sick leave
for substitutes, as mandated by state law, to alleviate the
financial strain on districts.

By fully funding substitute costs, including sick leave for
substitutes, districts can focus local levy funds on enhancing
education, rather than covering essential staffing requirements.

representing 1,800 members involved in school finance and operations.
