Breaking down WA's school funding formula (Crosscut)

Washington state revamped its K-12 funding system several years ago, but costs continue to rise. Here's what you need to know.

This was done to avoid a hit to taxpayers as the funding model changed and to rebalance the share of education funding that the state is responsible for. They can ask voters to approve capital bonds, which enable districts to borrow money for expenses such as new school construction and improvements to existing buildings. In most areas, the levy cap is now at $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed value – although districts can ask for less. However, when districts get the money – from all these sources – it’s up to local schools boards and administrators to determine exactly how to spend it. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), the agency that oversees K-12 public instruction in the state, then issues money to the districts based on what that minimum staffing would be. The changes, put in place over 2017 and 2018, boosted the amount that the state sends to each district – but the reformulation also changed the cap on how much a district could ask from its local taxpayers through an operations levy. the State of Washington, resulted in a reformulation of how the state funds basic education. The districts’ operations levies can fill funding gaps to decrease class sizes, increase superintendent or teacher salaries, add school counselors or nurses, or offer after-school tutoring programs to help raise academic achievement. Washington’s state Constitution calls for the state to provide “basic education” for K-12 students. Local operations levies are capped, so districts are limited in how much they can ask from their local voters (more on that later). That money to educate the state’s roughly 1.1 million K-12 public school students does not include state money spent to build and repair school buildings, buy or rent buses, or pay for some supplemental education. (In the past two years, these proportions have slipped a few percentage points because of an increase in federal spending, much of it through the COVID-19 relief packages for K-12 education, known as

Marie Curie: A Case Study in Breaking Barriers (Harvard Business Review)

Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska from a poor family in Poland, rose to the pinnacle of scientific fame in the early years of the twentieth century, ...

And at the same time she was knitting for the war. BOB SIMONS: Well, I think it’s an important question and I think how I would answer would be also for many of the others we study and that is, find something in life that you love to do. And she decided that what she would try to do in her work is understand the physics of what these rays were and what made them work. But she was very careful to try to ensure that she could do everything possible to ensure that her children and Pierre and her father-in-law, who helped as well, were all looked after to the extent that she could. And she spent the war literally driving up and down the front lines herself and she didn’t know how to drive. And this was so impressive that to add to her Nobel Prize in physics, the committee actually awarded her a second Nobel Prize this time in chemistry. And her father could send her a little bit and Bronia was helping her, but she was living in a sixth floor walkup that was unheated. And he agreed to let her come in and use the lab for her work. And it took seven full years for Bronia to study to become, successfully study, to become a doctor, then it would be Maria’s turn to travel to a Paris to the Sorbonne for herself to study and in turn Bronia would support her. I think many of us know her, but the degree of determination, the passion she brought to her work and her ability to take her discoveries and really change the world for the better, I think is just a phenomenal story. And so, the problem she faced was she desperately wanted to continue her education. And the plan was her sister, Bronia would first go to university and Bronia wanted to study to become a doctor.

But then went onto say ‘it’s really a product of crime – that’s the Democrats fault.’” “This plan would include an emphasis on adding redundancies to the measures that are already in place for Congressional leadership. The officers arrived at the scene at this point, and after Pelosi opened the door and greeted them, one of them turned on their flashlight and saw the two men holding opposite ends of the hammer, according to the court documents. Pelosi remained unresponsive for about three minutes, waking up in a pool of his own blood,” the documents said. Downstairs, DePape, noting that police would be arriving soon, told Pelosi: “I can take you out.” He then walked over to Pelosi while holding the hammer upright, causing Pelosi to reach out and put his hand on it. “The officers rushed into the house, tackled (DePape), and disarmed him. “Are you Paul Pelosi?” DePape asked, according to the documents.

No security alarm went off during the break-in, CBS News learned, even after the suspect broke the glass on a rear door to the house.

At the time of the break-in, she was with her security detail in Washington, D.C.

5 Ways 'Better Call Saul' Bettered 'Breaking Bad' (& 5 Ways It Didn't) (Collider.com)

While the prequel nature of the show restricts what some characters can do, Better Call Saul sidesteps this for its main character, Jimmy McGill. Right from the ...

Breaking Bad was a show that was always going to end with at least some tragedy, and its final season was inevitably going to have Walter White emerge as a full-blown villain. It'd be hard for any show to deliver a single episode like "Ozymandias," so the fact Better Call Saul never quite equaled it is ultimately understandable. Better Call Saul could sometimes stray a little too far into fan service, especially in its otherwise strong final season, when it seemed like the writers wanted to feature almost every character from Mike in particular became a far deeper and more complex character thanks to Better Call Saul, as an excellent episode like season 1's "Five-O" demonstrates. Even minor ones who were in less just a few episodes - like Tuco or the Salamanca twins - were very memorable, and Gus Fring's role as a villain for the middle third of the show gave it some of its best episodes. Even those who prefer Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad would have to admit it's a slower-paced show. Better Call Saul may have kept the fate of its main character a mystery throughout its run, thanks to its flash-forwards, but not everyone fared so well. The central one was perhaps Walt and Jesse, who went through a great deal together, and had a dynamic that became more strained as the show went on. Given Breaking Bad succeeds as a crime-thriller tragedy with a fast-paced plot, and Better Call Saul works as a slower-paced, character-focused drama (with some dark comedy), the following list doesn't aim to argue that one is better than the other. It's important to note that both are great in their own ways (even if one [somehow still doesn't have any Emmys](https://collider.com/better-call-saul-no-emmy-wins/)), and are heavily linked, as Better Call Saul is set (mostly) before Breaking Bad, and features many returning characters from the original show. While the prequel nature of the show restricts what some characters can do, Better Call Saul sidesteps this for its main character, Jimmy McGill. Viewers would have known Jimmy would become Saul before the series was over, but they didn't know how, and they certainly didn't know what would happen to him after Breaking Bad.

The amount will be determined as part of a broader year-end negotiation between Democrats and Republicans who are haggling over a number of spending priorities. Providing round-the-clock security to 535 lawmakers — nevermind their families — would be costly, and members of both parties have chafed at the idea of walling themselves off from the public. “The curse of it is that you almost incentivize people to threaten a member because you can protect yourself or your re-election — but you can’t effectively do both,” said Eric Swalwell, Democrat of California, a frequent target of threats.

Unlike presidents, who receive round-the-clock security provided by the taxpayer-funded Secret Service, including separate protection for members of their families, most members of Congress receive little government-provided security, and their families seldom have any. The review has also found that the San Francisco police stopped posting a car in front of the Pelosi household 24 hours a day as the agency had after the Jan.
