2025 WA Charters Conference
WA Charters invites you to attend their 2025 advocacy conference — Stronger Together: Families, Schools, and the Power of Community.

What We Are Advocating For
Funding Equity
The average student at a Washington State Charter public school receives 25% less in ongoing funding than a student at a traditional public school. This funding gap means there are fewer resources for students who need that funding most. This inequity persists because charter public schools are not entitled to local property tax levies, creating a funding gap from $1,500 to $3,000 per student, and do not receive dedicated facilities funding.
