Letter: Education answers are missing

By Ken Rone, Vancouver
Published: December 8, 2018, 6:00am

Why was the visit by Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal so poorly publicized ahead of time? I read The Columbian carefully and saw nothing. I am on several Vancouver Public Schools mailing lists — nothing. Could it be that VPS did not want their rank-and-file unions in attendance? Or their citizens objecting to further proposals for levies that the McCleary legislation was intended to supplant? The questions remain. What is basic education? And where is the McCleary money leaking to?
