WPC on the Go

Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Ben Shuldiner joins David Boze and Dr. Vicki Murray, WPC’s Paul W. Locke Education Policy Director, for a candid conversation about student achievement, the district’s budget deficit, and accountability. They discuss cutting central-office waste, highly capable programs, special education, curriculum, parent involvement, and the federal scholarship tax credit program, and more.

$700 million could be accessible by Washington students to help improve educational outcomes, but only if the governor opts us into the existing federal law. CEO of Democrats for Education Reform Jorge Elorza and former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan join Dr. Vicki Murray to talk about the program, why we should join it, and what the inaccurate misconceptions are.
