By Carl Smith, Donald F. Kettl, Girard Miller| GOVERNING Verified Ald. Brian Hopkins texted some of his colleagues Wednesday morning that he would no longer try to force a City Council vote on an 8 p.m. curfew downtown after a series of so-called “teen takeover” gatherings ended in violence in his ward. His decision averted what was expected to be a council showdown over how to address chaotic gatherings during the summer.
By Carl Smith, Donald F. Kettl| GOVERNING Verified On a 97-0 vote, the House amended, then passed Senate Bill 5263 on Wednesday to put Washington, for the first time, on a course to fully fund special education in its public schools. It also adjusted two other funding levers in the bill to drive more dollars for special education to the state’s 295 school districts. All told, roughly $870 million more will be sent out over the next two budgets. That sum is a compromise with the Senate, which wanted to spend closer to $2 billion.
