Show Notes
Washington states budget cuts led to a significant reduction in juvenile court funding, particularly in Spokane County, impacting truancy efforts. The cuts, tied to Beccas Bill, resulted in a decrease in truancy petitions. A new budget aims to support at-risk youth services, but critics argue the law overlooks kids with disabilities. Local leaders are committed to finding alternatives to keep vulnerable kids in school and prevent future issues.
