The editors of The Odessa Record do not usually weigh in on political issues, but the struggles of our public institutions, such as the school district and hospital, compel us to make an exception.

According to Article IX of the Washington State Constitution, the state’s “paramount duty” is to provide an “ample” and “uniform” education for all children.

The Legislature that year responded by passing the Basic Education Act, which defined what the state would pay for in terms of education and the Levy Lid Act,...
