The Washington House has passed a bill to instruct the 2017 Legislature to finish fixing the way the state pays for public schools.  It calls for a new education task force to find a compromise to end the state’s overreliance on local school levies to pay for basic education.  Republican Washington 14th District State Representative Norm Johnson says it would be difficult to reach a final solution during this year’s short session, noting there are a lot of factors to deal with to get there.  The bill would establish a plan to finish the work set up in legislation seven years ago and by the Washington Supreme Court’s McCleary decision in 2012.
