The meeting will be held at the San Juan Island Library conference room from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16. Rep. Lytton, recently appointed to the Governor's "McCleary Plan Work Group" will talk about education and the mandate resulting from the McCleary decision of 2012, in which the State Supreme Court ruled that the state was to properly fund K-12 education by 2018 and show measurable progress to that end in the intervening years. Currently the Legislature is being fined $100,000 per day for its failure to live up to that mandate.
