Washingtons State Board faces a December deadline to review and cut redundancies in the community and technical college system, following last years budget cuts. The plan, while aiming for efficiency, has sparked concerns about potential pain for students and communities. Lawmakers, like Representative Mari Leavitt, seek similar checks for public universities. The board pledges to keep colleges open, while Representative Gerry Pollet supports efficiency tweaks but opposes access cuts. This review echoes a post-Great Recession assessment, finding Washingtons system lean but vulnerable to ongoing cuts.
