On page 4, after line 35 of the amendment, insert the following:
     "(6)(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall assist Washington school districts, architects, and designers in the planning and design of high quality school facilities that enhance education and provide lasting value to the children and citizens of Washington.
     (b) The superintendent of public instruction shall encourage the use of prototypical school design or design components in limited circumstances and when several school construction projects are planned in a district or in a limited geographic area of the state. Such limited use of prototypical designs shall encourage student performance, staff retention, cost management, reduction of environmental health risks, and high performance school buildings.
     (c) The superintendent of public instruction shall establish a central clearinghouse for access by local boards of education that may want to use a prototype design or components of a design in the construction of school facilities. This system is expected to result in cost and time savings in school design, provide broader access to architects that specialize in school design, and increase awareness of current trends in school design."
