Legislative Update:
And That’s a Wrap: Legislature Adjourns - 4/28/25
By Marie Sullivan, legconsultant@wastatepta.org
After an exceptionally tough and challenging session, the Washington State Legislature adjourned around 6:30 PM on April 27th, the final day of the regularly scheduled 105-day session.
When the 2025-27 operating budget was revealed by the Conference Committee on Saturday, April 26th, one of the best bits of news was that the concept of reducing apportionment payments in February, March and April (and then returning them to school districts in the August apportionment) for the next two school years was nowhere to be found. The Legislature chose NOT to shift the apportionment and destabilize school districts and create cash flow issues.
