As a legislator who voted for our state’s robust home-grown teacher-principal evaluation system and one of the authors of our state’s new rigorous 24-credit graduation framework, I am disappointed in the federal government’s decision to repeal our waiver. This is a tremendous moment in our nation’s history where a state that strongly supported the President in 2008 and again in 2012 soundly rejected the federal government’s demands to structure our teacher-principal evaluation system to the specific criteria establish...
Dani Bolyard, candidate for 13th Legislative District Position 1, submitted her Declaration of Candidacy Monday morning at 9:15 a.m. to the office of the Secretary of State. “This is an exciting moment for any candidate, and I’m definitely no exception!” says Bolyard. “It’s a milestone that I’ll always remember. It may not have been a life-long dream to run for office, but it’s truly a piece of the American Dream.” Other than two terms as an elected PCO in Ephrata, this is the first political office for which Bolyard has fil...

I really do not know how people go through grief without the Lord. People always say there are many stages of grief and there are. It depends on what kind of day I’m having as to which stage I’m going through. The pain only tells me the depth of love that Tom and I had for each other. Grief hits me without a warning sometimes – for example, while shopping at Walmart, I broke down and sobbed. Some stranger came up to me and gave me a hug and walked away. That blessed me. It is hard to say the words, “I’m a widow,” but I am, a...
On April 24, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan yanked Washington state’s waiver, making the Evergreen State the first to lose the Obama administration’s flexibility from many of the mandates of the outdated No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. But, in an important twist, the state will not be returning to an accountability system that’s exactly like the one it had under NCLB, particularly when it comes to intervening in low-performing schools. Specifically, like other waiver states, Washington will still single out “prio...

Years ago I was a light smoker. Back in the day I thought nicotine did good things for my ability to think and learn. I was a serious student at the time, studying intensively seven days a week, so a powerful complement to black coffee was welcome in my life. I both sympathize and empathize with smokers around me today. But I'm awfully glad I quit long ago, and I know many other former smokers who feel the same way. Quitting is worth all the short-term distress it can entail....
