The Color of Money: The McCleary Crime Scene Coloring Contest

the color of money


Why a coloring contest? Because our elected officials are refusing to listen to the pleas of school board members, superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, and students. The usual political channels aren’t working. Because, in the grand tradition of political satire, we are calling out the foolish ways of our elected officials. TRAP will not sit by as a complacent accomplice, while our children are made to suffer in under resourced schools. Because we want to make sure ART ­ in all its forms ­ is on the forefront of every discussion concerning school funding.
WHAT: ​Parent Protest of the Legislature’s Continued Contempt of the McCleary Decision.
WHEN:​ 2016 Legislative Session
Who are the Teacher Retention Advocate Parents (TRAP)?
In September, TRAP formed to protest district-wide staff cuts in Seattle’s public schools.
