Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Regarding student learning plans.
Sponsors: Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education (originally sponsored by Senators Hobbs, King, McAuliffe, Oemig, Tom, Brandland, Holmquist, McDermott and Kline).
Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education
House Committee on Education
Background: In 2004 the Legislature directed school districts to prepare student learning plans for each fifth grade and eighth through 12th grade student who fails to successfully complete the Washington Assessment for Student Learning in one or more of the content areas. A plan must include the steps the student needs to take to stay on track for graduation. The plan is shared with parents.
Summary: The requirement that school districts provide student learning plans for students in fifth grade, and ninth through 12th grade is repealed. Students who are in eighth grade and have not been successful on the state assessment or are not on track to graduate must still receive student learning plans.
