By Representative Quall

ADOPTED 4/13/2009

    On page 3, beginning on line 27 of the striking amendment, after "instruction;" strike all material through "(5)" on line 35 and insert the following:

    "(e)  A representative of federally recognized Indian tribes whose traditional lands and territories lie within the borders of Washington state, designated by the federally recognized tribes; and

    (f)  Four members appointed by the governor in consultation with the state ethnic commissions, who represent the following populations:  African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islander Americans.

    (5)  The governor and the tribes are encouraged to designate members who have experience working in and with schools.

    (6)"

 

    Renumber the remaining subsection consecutively and correct internal references accordingly.  

 

      

           EFFECT:   Specifies that the Advisory Committee member representing federally recognized tribes is designated by the tribes, rather than appointed by the Governor.  Lists the ethnic populations to be represented in the Governor appointments.  Rather than requiring Governor-appointed members to be certificated staff with recent classroom experience, encourages the Governor and the tribes to designate members who have experience working in and with schools.
