Friends and supporters of Washington's students,

Thriving students - and our state's prosperity - depend on first class public education.

Our publication renews our commitment to make Washington's public schools the best in the nation. Turning Promise into Practice celebrates Washington's progress -- and urges reforms and sustained action. The booklet includes the first annual Citizens' Report Card on Education, which sets 10-year goals for student success and establishes a method to mark annual progress.

Your action for children and students is the key to their success. We hope you will find this publication and report card useful in your advocacy work on behalf of Washington's students.
