The LWPTSA Council board and membership have voted* to oppose Initiative 2117, aligning with the Washington State PTA. This initiative would repeal the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), a vital policy that funds projects improving school infrastructure, clean energy, and student health and safety.
The CCA supports energy-efficient schools, zero-emission buses, and safe routes to school, directly benefiting students and their communities. Repealing it would harm progress on climate goals and threaten the well-being of children. LWPTSA Council urges voters to vote NO on Initiative 2117 to protect our children’s future.
