Legislators take on education funding Citizen initiatives and politics threaten change By Mary L. Grady

editor@mi-reporter.com

Democrats Rep. Marcie Maxwell, of Renton, and Rep. Judy Clibborn, of Mercer Island, along with Islander Republican Sen. Steve Litzow came to talk with Island school leaders last Thursday about fixing public school funding. The lawmakers were open and sympathetic, but were careful to be honest about their assessment of the chance for real change or meaningful steps in the next legislative session. The three newly re-elected state legislators met with the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors, senior schools staff, the Mercer Island Schools Foundation and PTA leaders. The political parties and legislative committees will hold caucuses in the next few weeks prior to the session to determine

how to proceed on issues such as complying with the state Supreme Court decision on school funding. The Washington Supreme Court’s January ruling in McCleary v. State found that the state has failed to meet its constitutional duty to fully fund basic education. The ruling requires the Legislature to report annually for the next seven years on its progress toward meeting the funding obligations. Of course, the real issue is where will the money come from? Lawmakers say that huge cuts have been made already. Maxwell pointed out that the state has already cut $10 billion in 10 years for key services and education. “Cutting any more is not an option,” she said, adding, “we cannot cut social services for education.”

It is clear to all three that something has to be done in this session about finding new revenue sources as well as continuing the focus on costs. But any moves on taxes will likely bring another referendum by voters. First and foremost, the legislators wanted to emphasize that the newly two-thirds majority law on new taxes will likely mean that any tax increase will automatically go to the voters for final approval. “Before we consider any tax or increase, we’ve got to be able to sell it to voters, even if we are able to pass such a bill in the House and the Senate,” said Litzow. “Education is Sen. Steve Litzow transporMercer Island like tation was 10 years ago,” said Clibborn, who is head of the joint Transportation Committee. Like education now, transportation was in crisis, she remembered, and finally the Legislature came together. McCleary has now made it imperative. The talk turned to revenue sources and tax plans by Rep. Ross Hunter and others. Ideas

“Before we consider any tax or increase, we’ve got to sell it to voters.”

The Central Link light rail continued its strong annual growth with an average of 28,549 weekday boardings, a 13 percent improvement over 2011.

Yet work has begun to determine alternative solutions for increasing transit capacity for Federal Way and South King County. “So even though we don’t have funding to construct all the way to Federal Way, what we want to do is get into a position where we have an approved alignment, an approved number of stations and locations,” said Kimberly Reason, Sound Transit media relaPleas tions and public information officer. hand For more, go to www. soundtransit.org.

include having a “permanent levy” and changes in allocation formulas and extension of the “levy lift,” and the “levy swap,” a revenue-neutral swap of state property tax for local levies, staying within the constitutional 1 percent limit for regular property taxes and other schemes. Each has their own champions and critics, fatal flaws or novel approaches. Just one thing that complicates the funding adequacy definition is that it does not fund preschool or other programs such as DECA or other electives, Maxwell pointed out. “There is no silver bullet here,” said Litzow. Clibborn agreed. “There are people working on it all the time,” she said adding that neither McKenna nor Inslee directly addressed school funding in their campaigns for governor. But the new session will be complicated by politics. Voters expect that something will be done this session, they agreed. But the changes in faces and leadership in the house and senate will make it complicated. Each time the conversation inched away from the schools, Mercer Island Schools Superintendent Gary Plano made sure the conversation came back to focus on education funding. Plano reiterated his concerns, ticking off crowded schools and the problem with the two-thirds majority and the need to have

group that represents lowincome people. The UTC originally penalized the company $104,300 in October 2010 for improperly handling accounts of customers, including many lowincome customers, disconnected for nonpayment. In addition to that penalty, the company was ordered to make corrections to 26 specific customer accounts identified by UTC staff. In the 2 0 1 0 order, the UTC also penalized the company for improperly applying energy assistance pledge funds made to low-income customers’ accounts. Energy assistance pledges are intended to help consumers keep the lights and heat on during the winter months. Commission staff cited PSE for improperly applying those funds to a prior balance, which led to additional threats of disconnection for customers. PSE has now provided

flexibility in how to spend the money they receive. All agreed. There was no argument about what is needed and what the problems are. “We all need to be accountable for student success,” Maxwell said. Clibborn, a former Mercer Island School Board member, offered the current school officials her take on the failure of the recent $196 million school bond for rebuilding Island schools. She told of the time when the schools were rebuilt in the 1990s. The board then quickly learned that voters were not keen on voting an entire group of schools at the same time. “The community said then that they wanted control,” she said. “And they still do.” “Our first proposal was too big,” she remembered. “We had to break it into smaller parts and do one building at a time. It cost more but each passed.” Maxwell stated that the same happened with Renton schools. “No matter what, people will not vote for those big numbers,” she said. Clibborn was asked about the possibility of tolling coming to I-90, in light of the increasing traffic on Island arterials from people avoiding tolls on SR-520, using the Park and Ride or traveling across 40th to bypass traffic slowdowns in the evening. Clibborn said that perhaps by 2014 or a year or

two later, she expects tolls. One thing she hopes is that a “deal can be struck” to fix the I-405/I-90 interchange that regularly snarls westbound evening traffic in the evening. Finally, board members talked with legislators about what they described as the skyrocketing cost of complying with public records requests — particularly in

light of privacy issues and minors. The school district does not have extra funding for requests that come up in legal matters. “It is a way to strangle government,” said Plano. All three lawmakers said they were aware of the issue and are sympathetic. They were certain that it would come up for discussion in the next session.

Community briefs Communities that Care Coalition wins state prevention award The Mercer Island Communities that Care Coalition earned an exemplary service award during the 2012 Washington State Prevention Summit on Nov. 5 for the group’s work to reduce underage drug and alcohol use in the community. The award was given by the Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery and was presented by Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen. In the CTC’s nomination, specifically mentioned was the city’s underage drinking ordinance, the first of its kind in the state. “This award is really a recognition of the efforts of all CTC members and those city leaders who worked on the ordinance, including Police Chief Ed Holmes, Police Operations Commander David Jokinen, City Attorney Katie Knight, and the City Council — special mention goes to Deputy

Mayor Dan Grausz, who was instrumental in bringing the idea of an underage drinking ordinance back to the table,” says CTC Project Director Derek Franklin. To learn more about the CTC or to get involved, visit www.mercerisland-ctc.com.

Island Masons invite community to officer installation, celebration On Dec. 6 the Mercer Island Masonic Lodge will hold its 60th annual installation of officers. To mark this milestone, the Freemasons, the world’s oldest fraternity known as much for its secrecy as well as its charitable works, are inviting the community to join the celebration and enjoy a very rare glimpse of an actual Masonic ceremony. Mercer Island residents Scott Anderson (MIHS 1973), John Gebhart and Paul Hoeffer will be installed as Worshipful Master, Senior Warden and Junior Warden, respectively. Dennis Wilkins of Bellevue, who will complete his term as Worshipful Master, will become the secretary-treasurer for the lodge. Modern Freemasonry dates back to the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717, from which

The Mercer Island lodge was formed in 1953 when a group of Mercer Island Masons, who had to travel off the Island to attend a lodge, decided to petition the Grand Lodge of Washington to create Mercer Island Lodge #297. The lodge first met in the Island’s south club house, which is now Sunnybeam

School. In 1966 the Masons, over a handshake, agreed to move to the VFW Post, where they still meet today. The officer installation will be held at VFW Post #5760 (the Keewaydin Clubhouse) on Thursday, Dec. 6, with the ceremony starting promptly at 7:30 p.m. Donations of nonperishable food (cereal, soups, tuna, peanut butter and jelly, pasta and sauces, school lunch

snacks and canned fruit) will be collected for the Mercer Island Food Bank. Doors open and hors d’oeuvres will be served at 6:30 p.m. The community is welcome and admission is free.

Island school enrollment growth expected to continue By Reporter Staff

The Mercer Island School District can expect to have 300 or more students by 2022. The Mercer Island School District Board of Director heard from schools demographer Les Kendrick on an update to the demographic study that he prepared for district schools in 2008. According to the report, enrollment in the Mercer Island School District is currently tracking above the medium range projection from 2008 by 152 students. Elementary enrollment in October 2012 is within one student of the 2008 projection, while middle and high school enrollment has trended higher than

that earlier projection. Estimates for future enrollment indicate that population growth and the K-12 population in particular will increase in the coming decade. This is supported by state forecasts of births and the K-12 population, and the present forecast of births, which show an average of 2,000 more county births per year between 2006 and 2016 than occurred between 1995 and 2005. Using a medium range, 10-year projection (20122022), Kendrick forecasts that the district will have 4,565 students, or 300 more students than are presently enrolled. In 2007, enrollment was 3,845 students.

Mercer Island native honored as Husky Legend This is the first in an occasional series Catching Up with Island athletes. By Megan Managan

mmanagan@mi-reporter.com

During the Nov. 10 University of Washington football game against Utah, Mercer Island High School grad and UW alum Mark Jerue was named a Husky Legend. Jerue graduated from MIHS in 1978 and played for the University of Washington from 1978 until 1981 and played in the National Football League after being drafted by the New York Jets and then the Los Angeles Rams until 1989 as a linebacker. “It was a lot of fun,” said Jerue of the weekend. He said he was asked about coming to the game to be honored, and it happened to be the same weekend he was going to be in town for his 30th college fraternity reunion. “Now that they play at Century Link, we were down on the sidelines for a bit, but it’s not the same feel as Husky Stadium,” he said.

“We did take a tour of the new construction, the weight room and athletic facilities. It’s pretty nice.” Jerue said his freshman year at UW was the first year that the redshirt rule was reenacted, and that he and another freshman, Fletcher Jenkins, were the only true freshmen of the class to play that season. Jerue started his college career with the Huskies as a nose guard, but by his senior season Huskies head coach Don James suggested he move to linebacker, which proved to be a success, and a major reason why he was able to play professionally. But Jerue’s playing career

went back much farther. “I started playing as young as you could, probably 7 or 8,” he said. “I had the experience of going through Little League all the way through high school (on Mercer Island). I had really great coaches. I’ve always been lucky in that, to have great coaches.” Though the MI alum was recruited by Stanford, he said he always knew he wanted to be a Husky. “I had the opportunity to go to Stanford, but I didn’t really want to go anywhere else (other than UW),” he said. “The Washington experience was really great.

I grew up listening to them on the radio, washing my parents’ cars in the driveway on Saturday afternoons. I figured I could get the school experience anywhere I went because they really sell you on the Stanford education, but there was no doubt I was a Husky.” Jerue said the best lessons learned from the field are probably the most obvious ones — hard work and grinding it out. “Hard work — it doesn’t always mean you’ll be sucof the anniversary, the studio will be holding a free class with Maria Bliss on Friday, Nov. 30, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The anniversary celebration will last all day with food and prizes.

cessful, but you have a better shot at success if you work hard,” he said. “Discipline and just grinding it out, putting good days together and staying focused.” Jerue was the captain of the UW football team in 1981, which played in the Rose Bowl. He also played in the Rose Bowl game in 1978, also against Michigan, as a freshman. Jerue still holds the record for career tackles at UW with 354. “I would say, go for your dreams,” Jerue said of what he would tell players today. “Nothing is impossible. I

don’t think I was that much better than anyone else on our teams — I was just a good player who tried to be the best and kept moving.” Jerue now lives in Orange County, Calif., with his wife and is the senior vice president of a commercial real estate company. He said though his family still lives in Washington, none live on the Island. Do you know someone the Island should Catch Up with?
