In what became known as 2012’s 'McCleary Decision,' the Washington Supreme Court ruled the state was not properly funding education.
Article IX, section 1 reads, ‘It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste, or sex.”“Ample means not just adequate, considerably more than adequate,” Ahearne said.
“I went to his high school graduation before the case was over,” Ahearne said. “That’s how long this dragged on.” “The court basically said, when you have a school district that does that, the state is shirking its duty,” Santos said.In 2017, the state came up with a new formula that poured billions of dollars of new funding into education. The McCleary fines stopped.
