Evergreen Tacoma is located on Pierce Transit Bus Lines 1, 16, 28 and 57. It is fully accessible, and has a big parking lot. We are asking people who intend to speak to try to arrive a little early to sign in.
As you well know, our state faces great challenges as we move through 2012. The slow recovery from the Great Recession has meant more cuts and reductions for the people of Washington and harder times for the most vulnerable residents of our state.
After making $10 billion in cuts in the past three years, continued lower than expected revenue means an additional $2 billion in cuts to current budget. While we did make some cuts during the special session in December, we still have to find ways to close the budget gap of almost $1.5 billion. While the budget is occupying most of our time, we are moving forward on many other positive pieces of legislation including assuring our state provides the broadest possible access to health care as we implement federal health reform, assuring a woman’s right to choose as health reform is implemented, achieving marriage equality and making sure we continue to be a national leader in early childhood education with our recent receipt of a federal “Race to the Top” award.
We are eager to hear questions and suggestions so we can continue our recovery and emerge a better and stronger state.
Thank you for helping spread the word about this event.
Sincerely,
Representative Jeannie Darneille

Building a Grad Nation: The American Graduate Project Forum
http://www.kbtc.org/page.php?id=649
More than 1 million students drop out of high school each year. It is critical that all students receive a strong education for our nation to compete in a global world. KBTC has joined Public media stations across the country who are working directly with schools, parents, civic and business leaders, and other local partners to educate the community about the dropout crisis, help them identify the dropout risk factors, and find ways for caring adults to play a part in increasing the number of high school graduates.

TCSN-Three-year Strategic Plan Survey
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZHSJ5TJ
The Tacoma College Support Network (TCSN) is a collaboration of organizations that promote college, career and citizenship readiness for all Tacoma students by encouraging higher two-year and four-year college enrollments of high school graduates. The TCSN's emphasis is to aid students who have limited access to resources and opportunities, with special focus on low-income and under-represented students.
In 2006 a few concerned parties began to meet to discuss how to continue the momentum of the Achievers Scholarship program for low-income Tacoma Public School students once the Gates Foundation ended its scholarship support to TPS graduates in 2010. Since that time this group has changed focus a number of times and has grown to include a large group of community members.
With the group/network now moving forward in a number of key areas in support of Tacoma’s youth, we believe it is time to establish a Three Year Strategic Plan. Before we begin drafting the plan however, we would like get your thoughts on what the future of this network should look like.

Children in the Recession - Thank you
December 6, 2011
Dear friends,
We are writing, albeit belatedly, to thank you for your support and sponsorship of the Children in the Recession listening forum held last month at Jason Lee Middle School. The event was a remarkable success, and none of it would have been possible without the help and support of our impressive line-up of community based organizations and advocacy groups. We were extremely pleased to see such a great turnout of families and children, and service providers, local elected officials and legislators to hear their testimony.
From the first meeting at the Mandolin Café in Tacoma in September, you graciously gave your help on planning phone calls, contacting your membership, recruiting people to share their stories, providing volunteers to help us on the evening of the event. This was truly a collaborative event.
TVW filmed the entire event and it is stored on their archives, if you or others are interested in viewing it. The link to the video that we showed at the Forum is here at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIPnAzh6p24
“A Child’s Story” was one that local elected officials and policy makers needed to hear as we continue to address the financial ramifications of the recession on state and local government. This forum was inspired by similar events in Connecticut that have shown that the human and fiscal costs of the recession on children can be devastating and lifelong. There is no question that what we heard confirms the same phenomenon occurs in Washington State.
Our deep appreciation to you for all your support and help in making this event such a success.
Sincerely,
Representative Jeannie Darneille

We know the stories are out there. Jerry Large of The Seattle Times published an article about them. From the high school senior facing eight years in prison for a prank involving a blow-up doll, to the third grader expelled for holding up a chicken finger as a weapon, students all over the country are getting pushed out of the classroom in the name of zero-tolerance discipline policies.
While the policies were designed to keep students safe in school, they may be doing more damage than good. More and more students have been kicked out of the classroom for highly-subjective rule infractions. While these policies are bad for all students, students of color and low-income students are affected at disproportionately higher rates.
We’ve held forums in Kent and met with legislators. Now it’s time for Tacoma to add its voice. Come learn what we can do as a community to keep our students in the classroom and out of detention centers. Join LEV for an important discussion on school discipline and how it's impacting our youth.

We are thrilled to announce that former NBA star and current Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson will be back in the Evergreen State on Thursday, Nov. 3rd as part of our Voices from the Education Revolution speaker series.
A strong proponent of ensuring access to a quality education for every child, Johnson returned to his hometown of Sacramento after retiring from the NBA. He went to work on his nonprofit, St. Hope, established to empower urban youth through community engagement, quality educational opportunities and after-school programs. Last year, Mayor Johnson addressed a packed house in Seattle, discussing the opportunity gap, obstacles faced by low-income students and students of color, and a roadmap for change in our schools.
This time, Johnson will be speaking in Tacoma for our first South Sound speaker series event.
Join LEV, in partnership with University of Washington Tacoma and the Black Education Strategy Roundtable, along with community leaders, students, parents, and many sports fans as we hear Mayor Kevin Johnson’s take on how to improve our public education system.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 1st, as the League of Education Voters, in partnership with Democrats for Education Reform, Excellent Schools Now and Stand for Children presents Voices from the Education Revolution: A Conversation with Steven Brill. Brill will talk about his latest book and then moderate a conversation with education stakeholders offering a spectrum of perspectives on school reform.
Brill’s book – CLASS WARFARE: Inside the Fight to Fix America’s Schools – is a compelling and sure-to-be-controversial narrative of the push for reform that has accelerated rapidly in town halls, in state capitals, and on Capitol Hill in recent years following President Obama’s Race to the Top contest. He tackles hotly debated questions about how to measure teacher competency and set salaries, the role of teachers’ unions, the struggle within the Democratic Party between reformers and old-school union loyalists, and policies like “last in, first out” that require that teachers get laid off based purely on seniority rather than performance.

Free Child ID Program offered for your school
New York Life’s Child I.D. program is designed to help children in our community learn how to stay safe in the home, at play or wherever they happen to be. It also provides a comfortable way to develop relationships with young families, businesses, schools and non-profit organizations in your community by hosting a safety-oriented event where all children receive a New York Life-issued Child I.D.
Why Host a Child I.D. Event?
A Child I.D. event encourages family and safety-oriented businesses and organizations to interact with members of the community in a relaxed, fun environment. When you host a Child I.D. event, you are sending a message to your community that your business or organization cares.
Benefit to Parent/Guardian
Having a Child I.D. will give the parent/guardian the peace of mind knowing that should anything ever happen to their child, they will have an I.D. with vital information to distribute to the local authorities.
In only 3 to 5 minutes, a Child I.D. card is printed for each parent or guardian free of charge. Child I.D. cards feature a child’s photo, fingerprints, contact information and other pertinent information needed by the police in case of an emergency.
Please note that children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. No child’s information or pictures are electronically retained. All data is automatically erased upon printing the Child I.D. The only information New York Life keeps is a parent or guardian’s contact information, and only if permission has been granted for an Agent to contact them with more information about New York Life.
For More Information Contact:
New York Life Agent Kevin E. Gent at (253) 921-0834 or KEGent@ft.newyorklife.com
