Why Take the lead?

Facts Behind the Numbers



Angela's ConclusionThere's power in sharing stories

Like Angela, there are teachers and other school employees around our state who can't afford to live where they teach and work. Many teachers and other school employees hold two or three jobs to support their "teaching addiction." Washington state ranks dead last in teacher compensation among West Coast states. We need to ensure that Washington is able to attract and retain the best educators for all our students.

Help Angela make others aware of the crisis in education funding.

If you are interested in making sure your community has high quality teachers we encourage you to sign up and become a part of the Take the lead campaign.
