Note: Approx. 240,000 signatures needed by July 6th. Make yourself heard! Sign the petition!
As you may have heard, a broad and growing statewide coalition including LEV have come together to bring I-1240, the Washington Public Charter Schools Initiative to the ballot this fall. You can add your support by signing the petition for Initiative 1240. Look for signature gatherers in your neighborhood. Your signature will help us put this initiative on the ballot so that Washington voters can decide for themselves whether parents and students in our state should have the option of public charter schools, just like parents and students do in 41 other states.
Charter schools are independently managed public schools that are authorized and overseen by a state charter school commission or local school board and managed by qualified non-profit organizations. Initiative 1240 will allow up to 40 public charter schools in Washington state over a five-year period and hold them accountable for improving student outcomes. These schools will be able to serve students who are not currently succeeding in our traditional public schools and serve students who need help the most.
Initiative 1240 is supported by a bipartisan coalition of education advocates, teachers, parents, community leaders, and organizations across our state, and support is growing every day. Add your voice to support YES on 1240 by signing the petition today!
Learn more about the initiative, sign the petition, and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
