RLA goes to Olympia: 2012




First of all, relax. Despite what you might have heard about their reptilian nature, politicians are made of flesh and bone like the rest of us. Their hair and offices can be a little intimidating, but just remember that they work for you and LOVE talking to their constituents.

Here's the plan:

Tuesday Afternoon: Go over the two lessons provided by the WCAN organization and the Washington State Legislature (district, house, senate, committees, minority/majority, etc.)

Wednesday - Thursday: Background research on WCAN and issues related to educational funding in Washington State:

- Levy Equalization
- Charter Schools
- State Constitutional Crisis
- Spokane Medical School
- Cost of Higher Ed MORE INFO:
- Etc.

Friday: Compose letters and practice for meetings with Legislators, final preparation, etc.
