Councilmember M. Lorena González (Pos. 9, Citywide) issued the following statement in response to initial returns of the Families, Education, Preschool and Promise Plan:
“I want to thank Seattle voters for renewing their investment in early learning, K-12 supports and free college for public school students. With the passage of Seattle Proposition 1, the voters have renewed and enhanced their investments to nearly double the number of Seattle Preschool classrooms, address the needs of students experiencing homelessness, student-based health centers in K-12 schools and free college for public school graduates. These investments have been shown to support our kids ability to focus on learning and thriving from pre-school through their first two years at a Seattle College. Seattle voters have made a very wise choice.”
