Student academic achievement is critical and it continues to be one of our highest priorities. We first addressed the disparity in education by getting legislation passed creating the Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight & Accountability Committee. Today, we need your feedback to keep improving our public schools. You can help by answering a few survey questions  - Washington State African American Educational Opportunity Survey before August 31st. Share your public school experiences: Parents, students, caretakers anyone who supports students are invited to participate!  It's anonymous and only takes a few minutes. If you'd like to be apart of our focus groups, please email katie@imago.works Thank you!
