WORKSHOP
How the Workshop Works
Three steps that take you from understanding the system to making your voice heard.
01
Understand the WA Funding Model
Use AI tools to break down how Washington funds its 295 school districts.
- →Explore the WA K-12 Funding Tracker (AI-powered, all 295 districts)
- →Learn how state, local, and federal funding actually reach a classroom
- →See where the formula breaks for ELL, special education, and transportation
02
Investigate Our District
Pull real data on your own district and find the gaps that matter.
- →Compare per-student spending, FRL rates, and ELL funding across schools
- →Identify gaps that affect immigrant and Title I families
- →Track the policies behind the numbers (HB 2049, IDEA, MSOC)
03
Use Our Voice
Turn what you learned into a civic action you actually deliver.
- →Write a public comment for a school board meeting
- →Draft testimony or a letter to your state legislators
- →Present a short data report to your school, family, or community
