preview of Legislative Priorities

The School Boards of Lakewood School District and Arlington Public Schools met on Oct. 21, during a special joint meeting to discuss their Legislative Priorities for the 2025 regular session of the Washington State Legislature, which begins in January. Board directors met in the Lakewood High School library.

As a top priority, both governing bodies are asking the Legislature to fully fund special education. The current funding model puts a cap on services at 16% of a school’s student population. In the 2024-25 school year, 18% of students in Lakewood qualify for at least one special education service. Districts rely on their local levies to backfill this gap in funding.

Eighth-graders in the Lakewood Middle School yearbook class drew inspiration from National School Lunch Week for their assignment this week. 

The students are learning interview techniques and took turns asking a partner questions about what they like to eat for lunch. Some favorites were the cheese-stuffed breadsticks, chicken burgers, nachos and sandwiches.
