HB 2678 - DIGEST

Provides that, if a concerted work stoppage or strike by teachers in a school district continues for one or more regularly scheduled school days, the students residing in and currently enrolled in that district are eligible to enroll in another district or a private school approved under chapter 28A.195 RCW. Students seeking to enroll in an approved private school are subject to the limitations and restrictions of the private school.

Requires that, for each student who enrolls under this act in a private school approved under chapter 28A.195 RCW, the superintendent of public instruction must provide prompt and timely funding to private schools through the apportionment funding formulas in amounts the student would have generated if the student was enrolled in a public school in the district in which the private school is located, except that a private school is not eligible for small school assistance or remote and necessary assistance.
