HB 3030 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

     Finds that the current process for changing school district boundaries is not working.  This is evidenced by old, ambiguous statutes, several recent court cases, and numerous other contentious battles over school district boundaries.

     Declares an intent to find a more equitable means to resolve these disputes by taking a relatively small step in this act and requiring a report and recommendations from the state board of education for comprehensive reforms in 1999.

     Repeals RCW 28A.315.030, 28A.315.060, 28A.315.070, and 28A.315.080.

     Makes an appropriation of an unspecified amount to carry out the purposes of the act.
