While most state agencies received a 6–10% decrease in funding during the 2025 Legislative session, ESDs across the state lost up to 35% of their core funding. This forced cuts to dozens of programs that provide student and educator services focused on learning. This year, our legislative goal is sustaining our student support systems.
