Editor, the Journal
We, the teachers in the
Shelton School District are
very concerned about the
proposed cuts to education
that are currently being
proposed in both the House
and the Senate. We are well
aware that in tough eco-
nomic times everyone must
do some belt-tightening,
but ,slashing programs, that
seree~ our children:.is, not~ ::
the answer. Such cuts are
harmful for the short term
and set a very troubling
precedent for the future.
How we as a state (and a
nation) choose to spend our
resources should reflect our
priorities. Children should
be a top priority for our
support and attention, not
an afterthought in funding
proposals.
We recognize that we
must address our state's se-
rious fiscal challenges, but
we do not believe cutting
core education programs is
the right approach. Wash-
ington's classes are the
third most crowded in the
United States, yet both the
House and Senate budget
proposals would eliminate
the voter-approved 1-728
funding that guarantees
smaller class sizes for Kin-
dergarten through fourth
grades. Cutting spending
for children will not only
hurt kids, it will hurt our
economy. Research clearly
demonstrates that invest-
ments in education help
grow the economy.
We hope you will join
us in m;ging our elected of-
ficia~ tqfi~., d ~0lptiqn~ ~.h~t

nation's students.
