Raise your hand if you have questions about how schools are funded in Washington state? ✋
OSPI's mission is to support public education, and that includes keeping students, families, educators, and communities informed! School funding is more than just dollar figures; it's resources and supports for students to help them succeed in the classroom.
School funding is essential, and it's also a huge topic, so we created a series of posts to help explain how it all works. The first post provides an overview of school funding in Washington, including how local, state, and federal funds support K–12 public education. The post covers everything from levies to funding generated by timber, cannabis, and lottery revenue.

Chef Monroe, an advocate for local and sustainable food and a Certified Executive Chef, led her students to execute a dish for this event.
The students went beyond simple assembly, meticulously preparing and creating the elegant Smoked Salmon Crostini—including making the crispy brioche itself!
From baking to precise plating, the NEWTech students handled every detail of the first course, featuring: honey-whipped goat cheese, cucumber, smoked salmon, caviar, micro lemon balm, and crumbled potato crisps. This dish wasn’t just delicious; it was a perfect showcase of the next generation of culinary talent in the Pacific Northwest!

We are so proud to introduce one of our amazing Esthetics Program graduates, Jazzie Sanchez! 🎉
Jazzie completed the College Program and graduated in 2022. That same year, she became a licensed esthetician—and in just three short years, she’s already built her own thriving business: Iris and The Fox
, her very own studio! 🦊💐
💖 What Jazzie Loves About Her Career
“The ability to run my own business—controlling my procedures, schedule, and policies.”
💡 Wisdom for Current & Future Students
“Get your license and continue your education forever. There’s always something new to learn, and there isn’t just one right way. Learn from others, and then choose the best way for you.”
🌟 Program Takeaway
Even the little things made a big difference. Jazzie shared how she learned subtle techniques—like always keeping a hand on her client—to help create a comfortable, elevated client experience.
😂 Favorite Memory from Class
“Kahoot competitions with my classmates!”
We are so proud of everything Jazzie has accomplished since graduating from WST Esthetics—and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her! ✨

This company was Mr. Traxlerś inspiration for shifting his robotics class this year to include tractors, sprayers, and drones. For example, drones can scan thousands of acres to detect weeds and other issues. Because of this targeted approach, up to 70% of a field doesn’t need to be sprayed. That’s why our robotics used in trades are now agriculture-oriented here in the Palouse.
They also visited Sytech Precision (metal fabrication) and Norfolk Iron & Metal.
These hands-on tours give students the opportunity to see how what they’re learning at SVT can be applied to real-world careers. A big thank you to all of the companies who made this possible!
