On May 30th, 2025, President Trump released his proposed federal budget for Fiscal Year 2026, which included broad cuts to K–12 education programs. If this budget were to be adopted as written, the amount of essential funding that would be pulled from Washington’s school districts would total over $100 million per school year, starting in the 2026–27 school year.
On February 3rd, 2026, Congress passed, and President Trump signed into law, a budget bill continuing all K–12 education funding for Fiscal Year 2026 at the same levels or nearly the same levels as Fiscal Year 2025. Funding for key education programs will be maintained in the 2026–27 school year; therefore, this map remains posted for informational purposes only.

The Puget Sound is not seen in this map because Washington school districts’ legal boundaries are drawn over the Puget Sound.
