What Happened to Literacy? Highline’s 2027 Agenda Focuses on Funding, Bonds and Records Requests

Highline Public Schools is pushing state lawmakers to increase education funding, lower school bond approval thresholds from 60% to 50%, and allow districts to pause inactive public records requests. The board plans to vote on the 2027 Legislative Agenda on November 18.
