Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Regarding access to K-12 campuses for occupational or educational information.
Sponsors: Senators Bailey, Hobbs, Roach, Becker, Carrell, Dammeier, Benton, Honeyford, Padden and King.
Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education
House Committee on Education
Background: State law mandates that if a school board provides access to the campus and student information directory to people or groups that make students aware of occupational or educational options, then the board must provide the same access to military recruiters for the purpose of informing students of educational and career opportunities in the military.
Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, school districts receiving federal funds must provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students that is provided to post-secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers.
Summary: In the event that a school district provides access to post-secondary occupational or educational representatives, access also must be provided to recruiters from the Job Corps, Peace Corps, and AmeriCorps. The access provided to military recruiters and those from the Job Corps, Peace Corps, and AmeriCorps must be equal to and no less than the access provided to other post-secondary occupational or educational representatives. The word access is defined to include, but not be limited to, the number of days provided and the type of presentation space.
