REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
January 1, 1993
TO: Members of Washington State Legislature
FROM: Kathleen Anderson, President
Judith A. Billings, Chief Executive Officer
SUBJECT: 1993 Report to the Legislature on the Schools for the 21st Century Program
In May of 1987, the Legislature passed Chapter 525, Laws of 1987 (Substitute Senate Bill No. 5479), authorizing the Schools for the 21st Century Program. Included in the provisions of that act was the requirement that the Washington State Board of Education report to the Legislature on the progress of the program on a biennial basis, with the first report being due in January 1989. Attached is the Executive Summary of the Board's third report to satisfy that requirement.
The State Board of Education is pleased to share with you information about the progress and results of the program to date. The first twenty-one projects have completed four of their six years, while the second twelve will reach the midpoint of their projects in June of this year. Included in the Executive Summary is background information about the program, data on what we have learned, barriers to implementing change, and staff recommendations. Also included are contacts for each project so that legislators may obtain additional information about projects located in their area or those of special interest to them.
We believe that the Schools for the 21st Century Program has played a key role in educational restructuring throughout the state and has been a catalyst for significant changes, such as the movement towards outcome-based education, site-based management, and the passage of the Education Reform Bill of 1992. We also believe that continued review and analysis of the program during the six years authorized for each of the projects can assist the Legislature in its efforts to promote school improvement and increased student performance.
For copies of the full 1993 Report to the Legislature on the Schools for the 21st Century Program or for additional copies of this report, please contact: John Anderson, Coordinator, Schools for the 21st Century; Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Old Capitol Building, PO Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504; (206) 586-4512, SCAN 321-4512
The Select Committee Report is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
