REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “As the President stated earlier, every year we have the privilege of having outstanding Scouts from across the state join us. And in that they present the annual report to the state recognizing the thousands of hours of volunteerism that they participate in projects. Making that report this year is, from the Chief Seattle Council, is Ryan Barr from Troop 171 in Seattle.”
REMARK BY MR. RYAN BARR
Ryan Barr: “Good morning. My name is Ryan Barr and I’m an Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop 171 in Seattle Washington. I and nineteen other Eagle Scouts are here today representing the six Boy Scout Councils in our state. Collectively, we are here today to present the annual report to the State of Washington. This past year nearly sixty-three thousand young people in Washington State participated in Scouting programs with the mentorship of more than twenty thousand adults volunteers. Of these Scouts, twenty-six thousand seven hundred nineteen attended camp. A record of one thousand three hundred forty-nine achieved the pinnacle of scouting by earning the rank of Eagle in our state last year. The Boy Scouts of America was founded on the premise, to be a good citizen you must do for others. Since its inception, the Scouts and volunteers have committed to serving others at all times with enthusiasm and conviction. Over the years Scouts have also worked diligently to protecting the environment and learn the value of ‘leave no trace.’ Through these and many other efforts the Boy Scouts of American have established a tradition of service. In 2013 Washington State Scouts and volunteers donated more than three hundred twenty-seven hours of community service to our state. This volunteer time is valued nearly at 7.4 million dollars. By continuing to recruit quality leadership and finding youths from all backgrounds and circumstances to join and offering a fun and exciting program we seek to help ordinary young people become extraordinary adults. On behalf of the Boy Scout Councils in Washington State I would like to present Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen the copy of the 2014 report.”
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “As the President said, as demonstrated by the three hundred twenty-seven thousand hours of community service that you are a great asset to the state of Washington. Researches has demonstrated that when young people have something positive to contribute to and be involved in that they’re less likely to get into negative behavior. The President would strongly urge all the Scouts that are here today to be mentors to other young people as you are examples to them and they will follow your lead. So, the President would like to recognize all of these outstanding Washington citizens that are with us today. So, if all the Scouts in the gallery would please stand and be recognized the President would appreciate it very much.”

SENATE RESOLUTION
8686
By Senators O'Ban, Pedersen, Angel, King, Baumgartner, Tom, Bailey, Honeyford, Parlette, Dansel, Becker, Braun, Hill, Hewitt, Ericksen, Sheldon, Hasegawa, Keiser, Kohl-Welles, Cleveland, Liias, Rolfes, Hatfield, Hobbs, McCoy, Hargrove, Darneille, Rivers, Dammeier, Kline, Conway, McAuliffe, Frockt, Billig, Chase, Fraser, Eide, Nelson, Padden, and Roach
WHEREAS, For his acts of heroism and selflessness, Captain William Swenson was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in 2013; and
WHEREAS, During his military service, William Swenson served as an adviser with the Afghan Border Police Mentor Team in support of the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, and the 10th Mountain Division; and
WHEREAS, On September 8, 2009, Captain Swenson and others were engaged by anti-Afghan forces in the Ganjgal Valley within 100 meters of Ganjgal Village, forcing Captain Swenson to simultaneously return fire while directing troops where to go to provide cover fire for soldiers pinned down by the insurgents' initial volley; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson called for immediate suppression on preplanned targets and for smoke to cover the withdrawal of the lead element, but due to the close proximity of insurgent fighters and the unavailability of smoke, multiple indirect fire missions were unsuccessful in deterring the enemy's advance; and
WHEREAS, Enemy soldiers began moving to flank the forces pinned down behind terraces and in trenches, where Captain Swenson discovered his partner advisor and noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Sgt. 1st Class Kenneth Westbrook, who was hit in the face and chest and lay exposed in an open area; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson returned accurate fire and repelled the enemy, despite coming under direct fire that killed two adjacent soldiers and wounded another, and immediately began rendering first aid; and
WHEREAS, As the anti-Afghan forces began firing and calling for Swenson and his group to surrender, Swenson halted first aid just long enough to throw a grenade, eliminating the immediate threat to their position and forcing the enemy back, an act of resistance that inspired the pinned troops to rally, and their subsequent response disrupted the enemy attack and pushed them back beyond hand grenade range; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson helped carry his wounded partner, Westbrook, with rocket-propelled grenades striking close-by, across 200 meters of terraced open ground where they successfully loaded Westbrook into a waiting MedEvac helicopter which took him to the support hospital at Forward Operating Base Wright; and
WHEREAS, Swenson and others then manned unarmored vehicles and reentered the kill zone two times to evacuate wounded and bring them to the casualty collection point, while Swenson communicated via radio with the air support pilot attempting to determine the location of missing soldiers; and
WHEREAS, When it became clear that a third return to the combat zone with the unarmored vehicle would be impossible, Captain Swenson gathered all available combat power to lead a return to the kill zone using a small convoy of Humvees and armored trucks, an armored ABP truck, and two ANA vehicles; and
WHEREAS, Despite accurate rocket-propelled grenade and machine gun fire, Captain Swenson and others succeeded in rescuing and recovering several wounded and dead, but were forced by the volume of fire to drive past several marked positions deeper into the ambush; and
WHEREAS, Having finally verified the location of the last missing soldiers, Captain Swenson and others drove up through the kill zone one final time, successfully finding their comrades in a deep trench that had been impossible to see from ground angles during previous trips and recovered the bodies of their fallen comrades while providing covering fire; and
WHEREAS, Captain William Swenson, graduate of United States Army Ranger and Airborne School, received his commission as an Infantry Officer in 2002, and served courageously and with valor while stationed three times in Iraq and twice in Afghanistan; and
WHEREAS, For his bravery, Captain Swenson received numerous revered honors and awards including the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart, and the Combat Infantry Badge; and
WHEREAS, He dutifully served as a mentor to members of the Afghan National Security Forces and was deservedly promoted to the esteemed position of Army captain; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson fought nobly and gallantly to protect and serve his country, fellow military men and women, and the Afghan and Iraqi people; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson always went above the call of duty, remained in control, and protected his fellow soldiers; and
WHEREAS, Captain Swenson eventually retired from military duty in 2011, settling in Seattle, Washington;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State Senate humbly honor United States Army Captain William Swenson, who fought nobly and gallantly to protect his country and fellow soldiers and earned the distinguished Congressional Medal of Honor, for his bravery and sacrifice, and give due recognition for his courage, selflessness, and devotion to the United States of America; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate to United States Army Captain William Swenson.
Senators O'Ban, Hobbs and Angel spoke in favor of adoption of the resolution.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 8686.
The motion by Senator Padden carried and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “The President had the great honor of introducing a lot of people in his career of many, many years. This has to be one of the most outstanding and moving moments that I’ve had to be able to present to you Medal of Honor recipient, Captain William Swensen.”
REMARKS BY CAPTAIN WILLIAM SWENSEN
Captain William Swensen: “Lieutenant Governor, Senator O’Ban, members of the Senate. First off, thank you very much for having me out here today. Washington State, as I continually have to remind some East Coasters, is Washington State. This is my home. This is where my heart is. This is what I fight for. You take care of it. And now I sit in a room with people who share a very similar trait to my own. I’m beginning to like to hear myself talk. In all seriousness, my battle ended several years ago but my responsibilities do carry on, my responsibilities to carry on the memories of my fallen colleagues, to carry on the responsibility of reminding the American people that we still have service members down range and to remind the American people that we have veterans who are home but their battles continue. You sitting in this body have a responsibility as well to those veterans and those service members that reside in Washington State. And I ask you to always remember that as you sit here in this room that some of our members have come home and still need continued help. So, I’ll do my part to remind Washington State and the American people of what their responsibility is to our veterans and our service members but I ask you to continue doing the same. So, again, thank you for having me here today. Thank you for giving me the chance to talk. This is really a privilege. Thank you.”

SENATE BILL NO. 6077, by Senators Benton and Sheldon
Modifying the use of storm water control facility rate charges.

POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Padden: “Would the gentleman from the Seventeenth District yield to a question? Senator, does this legislation, 6077, remove money that’s supposed to go to fight the storm water problem?”
Senator Benton: “Thank you for your question Senator Padden. Absolutely not. The previous speaker is mistaken and maybe the bill report is incorrect but perhaps there’s not a clear understanding of how these funds work. All clean water fees pay into the clean water system, whether they’re from commercial, residential or DOT, are paid into what is called an enterprise fund. State law protects all of that money and it can only be used for clean water activities. This money is no different. It doesn’t do anything about this money. There’s a state statute that was put into effect when these laws were passed many years ago that wanted to make sure that this money was used, that the state paid, was only used for state owned facilities. There is no longer a need for that and that we’re built out and all these facilities feed into the same storm water system. So, setting money aside that can only be used for DOT storm water facility is not necessary and it ties the hands of local government. So, the money is not being diverted to anything else. It is still going to be used for storm water. So, it is inaccurate to portray this bill as a bill that stops this money from being used from storm water. That is not the case. I know that’s hard to believe based on the sponsor of the bill but the fact of the matter is this is a great bill that helps local governments do a better job managing their storm water facilities and not one dime, not one dime is removed from the intended purpose of the money and that is to manage storm water runoff. Thank you Mr. President.”

This motion shall be in effect through February 18, 2014.”

SENATE BILL NO. 6549, by Senators Hobbs, Hatfield and Pearson
Creating demonstration projects for preserving agricultural land and public infrastructure in flood plains.
The measure was read the second time.
MOTION
Senator Hobbs moved that the following striking amendment by Senator Hobbs and others be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 43.23 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature intends that the state conservation commission and the departments of ecology, agriculture, fish and wildlife, and natural resources work together cooperatively, efficiently, and productively to facilitate the expeditious construction of two demonstration projects. The legislature expects that the joint and contemporaneous participation of all these state agencies will expedite the permitting of these demonstration projects. The legislature further intends that the collaborative process that the stakeholder group creates, including local stakeholders among others, will be used as a model for river management throughout the state.
(2) The legislature finds that the excessive accumulation of sediment and gravel in certain rivers of the state poses a threat to farmland and to the recovery or enhancement of certain fish populations. The legislature also finds that the failure to manage sediment and gravel accumulation has contributed to erosion and resulted in the loss of productive farmland and mature treed riparian zones that cool the waters, flooding in residential areas, loss of recreational access to rivers, and loss of public infrastructure.
(3) The state conservation commission and the departments of agriculture, natural resources, fish and wildlife, and ecology must jointly identify and implement two demonstration projects that test the effectiveness and costs of river management by using various sediment management strategies and techniques as applied to accomplish the following goals:
(a) Protection of agricultural lands;
(b) Restoration or enhancement of fish runs; and
(c) Protection of public infrastructure and recreational access.
(4)(a) The state conservation commission must convene a stakeholder group consisting of the departments of agriculture, natural resources, fish and wildlife, and ecology, local and statewide agricultural organizations, tribes, land conservation organizations, and local governments with interest and experience in the use of sediment management techniques to provide for flood control. The stakeholder group must develop and implement two demonstration projects, one located in Whatcom county and one located in Grays Harbor county.
(b) In developing and implementing these demonstration projects, the departments must examine sediment management conducted in the Fraser river, British Columbia, Canada and include any potentially applicable practices in the demonstration projects.
(c) The departments must: (i) Examine and find whether and how the Fraser river experience applies to the goals of this act; and (ii) set benchmarks and a timetable for progress toward achievement of the goals of this act.
(d) Any gravel resources removed as a result of these pilot projects must be: (i) Used at the departments' discretion in projects related to fish programs in the local area of the project or by property owners adjacent to the project; (ii) made available to a local tribe for its use; or (iii) sold and the proceeds applied to funding the demonstration projects.
(5) At a minimum, the pilot projects must include the following sediment management strategies and techniques:
(a) At all times of sediment or gravel removal, a person must be on hand to observe that the practices follow established pilot project protocols and protect fish life;
(b) Gravel or sediment may not be removed at times when fish runs are known to be in the river; and
(c) Reasonable steps must be taken to reduce turbidity resulting from gravel and sediment removal activities.
(6) The departments must consider other sediment management strategies and techniques including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Reducing turbidity caused by year-round stream bank erosion that is caused by accumulation of excess sediment and gravel that changes the river course;
(b) Providing deeper, cooler holes for fish life;
(c) Providing deeper river channels for fish passage;
(d) Ensuring that any management activities leave sufficient gravel and sediment for fish spawning and rearing;
(e) Providing stable river banks that will allow for long-term growth of riparian enhancement efforts, such as planting shade trees and hedgerows;
(f) Protecting existing mature treed riparian zones that cool the waters;
(g) Removing excess sediment and gravel that causes diversion of water and erosion of river banks and farmland;
(h) Restoring previously existing bank contours that protect the land from erosion caused by more intense and more frequent flooding; and
(i) Developing management practices that reduce the amount of gravel, sediment, and woody debris deposited into farm fields.
(7) The departments must report to the legislative committees with oversight of agriculture, water, rural economic development, ecology, fish and wildlife, and natural resources by December 31, 2014, on: (a) Their examination and findings of the applicability of the Fraser river experience to the goals of this act; (b) their progress toward setting benchmarks and meeting the stakeholder group's timetable; (c) any decisions made in implementing the projects; and (d) agency recommendations for funding of the projects from federal grants, federal loans, state grants and loans, and private donations, or if other funding sources are not available or complete, submitting the two projects for consideration in the biennial capital budget request to the governor and the legislature. The departments must report annually thereafter by December 31st of each year.
(8) The stakeholder group must be staffed jointly by the departments. Costs of the stakeholder group, including staffing, must be borne jointly by the departments."

SENATE BILL NO. 6388, by Senator Padden
Concerning pass-through wholesale food distributors.
MOTION
On motion of Senator Padden, Substitute Senate Bill No. 6388 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 6388 and the substitute bill was placed on the second reading and read the second time.
MOTION
Senator Padden moved that the following striking amendment by Senators Padden and Conway be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the availability of affordable, fresh, and nourishing foods is essential for individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The legislature also finds that new methods of purchasing and delivering fresh, nourishing foods are emerging and lowering the costs of these foods. The legislature further finds that the new business models for purchasing and delivering fresh, nourishing foods are being inappropriately classified as food service establishments. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to establish a pass-through food distributor license for businesses that sell and collect payment only through a web site for prepackaged foods obtained from a food processor either licensed or inspected, or both, by a state or federal regulatory agency and that deliver the food directly to consumers without any interim storage.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 69.04 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The department shall issue a license to operate as a pass-through wholesale food distributor to any entity that:
(a) Submits a completed application on forms approved by the department;
(b) Provides the department with a list of all leased, rented, or owned vehicles used by the applicant's business to deliver food;
(c) Maintains food temperature logs or uses a device to monitor the temperature of the packages in real time for all food while in transport; and
(d) Submits all the appropriate fees to the department.
(2) By rule, the department shall develop an annual license and renewal fee to defray the costs of administering the licensing and inspection program created by this section. All moneys received by the department under the provisions of this section must be paid into the food processing inspection account within the agricultural local fund and must be used solely to carry out the provisions of this section.
(3) A licensed pass-through wholesale food distributor shall protect food from contamination while in transport. Food must be transported under conditions that protect food against physical, chemical, and microbial contamination, as well as against deterioration of the food and its container. This includes, but is not limited to, the separation of raw materials in such a fashion that they avoid cross-contamination of other food products, particularly ready-to-eat food. For example, during the transport of raw fish and seafood, meat, poultry, and other food which inherently contains pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, as well as soil and other foreign material, must not come into direct contact with other food in the same container or in any other cross-contaminating circumstance.
(4) In the event of a food recall or when required by the department, a federal, state, or local health authority in response to a food borne illness outbreak, a licensed pass-through food distributor shall use its client listserv to notify customers of the recall and any other relevant information.
(5) The department shall:
(a) Conduct inspections of vehicles used by the entity, storage, food handling areas, refrigeration equipment, and product packaging used by the entity;
(b) Audits of temperature logs and other food handling records as appropriate;
(c) Investigate any complaints against a licensed pass-through wholesale food distributor for the failure to maintain food safety; and
(d) Adopt rules, in consultation with the department of health and local health jurisdictions, necessary to administer and enforce the program consistent with federal regulations.
(6) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Department" means the department of agriculture.
(b) "Pass-through food distributor" means an entity that receives prepackaged food from a food processor either licensed or inspected, or both, by a state or federal regulatory agency or department and that delivers the food directly to consumers who only placed and paid for an order on the entity's web site, without opening the packaging and without dividing it into smaller packages and no interim storage by the pass-through food distributor, and is delivered, by means of vehicles that are equipped with either refrigeration or freezer units, or both, and that meet the requirements of rules authorized by this chapter. "Pass-through food distributor" includes an entity that, prior to delivery to the consumer, temporarily stores the prepackaged food in a food storage facility either licensed or inspected, or both, by a state or federal regulatory agency or department.
(7) Pass-through food distributors that have a license from the department under section 2 of this act are exempt from the permitting requirements of food service rules adopted by the state board of health and any local health jurisdiction."

On page 2, after line 13, insert the following:
"Sec. 2. RCW 43.70.052 and 2012 c 98 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) To promote the public interest consistent with the purposes of chapter 492, Laws of 1993 as amended by chapter 267, Laws of 1995, the department shall continue to require hospitals to submit hospital financial and patient discharge information, which shall be collected, maintained, analyzed, and disseminated by the department. The department shall, if deemed cost-effective and efficient, contract with a private entity for any or all parts of data collection. Data elements shall be reported in conformance with a uniform reporting system established by the department. This includes data elements identifying each hospital's revenues, expenses, contractual allowances, charity care, bad debt, other income, total units of inpatient and outpatient services, and other financial and employee compensation information reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of this section. Data elements relating to use of hospital services by patients shall be the same as those currently compiled by hospitals through inpatient discharge abstracts. The department shall encourage and permit reporting by electronic transmission or hard copy as is practical and economical to reporters.
(2) In identifying financial reporting requirements, the department may require both annual reports and condensed quarterly reports from hospitals, so as to achieve both accuracy and timeliness in reporting, but shall craft such requirements with due regard of the data reporting burdens of hospitals.
(3)(a) Beginning with compensation information for 2012, unless a hospital is operated on a for-profit basis, the department shall require a hospital licensed under chapter 70.41 RCW to annually submit employee compensation information. To satisfy employee compensation reporting requirements to the department, a hospital shall submit information as directed in (a)(i) or (ii) of this subsection. A hospital may determine whether to report under (a)(i) or (ii) of this subsection for purposes of reporting.
(i) Within one hundred thirty-five days following the end of each hospital's fiscal year, a nonprofit hospital shall file the appropriate schedule of the federal internal revenue service form 990 that identifies the employee compensation information with the department. If the lead administrator responsible for the hospital or the lead administrator's compensation is not identified on the schedule of form 990 that identifies the employee compensation information, the hospital shall also submit the compensation information for the lead administrator as directed by the department's form required in (b) of this subsection.
(ii) Within one hundred thirty-five days following the end of each hospital's calendar year, a hospital shall submit the names and compensation of the five highest compensated employees of the hospital who do not have any direct patient responsibilities. Compensation information shall be reported on a calendar year basis for the calendar year immediately preceding the reporting date. If those five highest compensated employees do not include the lead administrator for the hospital, compensation information for the lead administrator shall also be submitted. Compensation information shall include base compensation, bonus and incentive compensation, other payments that qualify as reportable compensation, retirement and other deferred compensation, and nontaxable benefits.
(b) To satisfy the reporting requirements of this subsection (3), the department shall create a form and make it available no later than August 1, 2012. To the greatest extent possible, the form shall follow the format and reporting requirements of the portion of the internal revenue service form 990 schedule relating to compensation information. If the internal revenue service substantially revises its schedule, the department shall update its form.
(4) The health care data collected, maintained, and studied by the department shall only be available for retrieval in original or processed form to public and private requestors pursuant to subsection (7) of this section and shall be available within a reasonable period of time after the date of request. The cost of retrieving data for state officials and agencies shall be funded through the state general appropriation. The cost of retrieving data for individuals and organizations engaged in research or private use of data or studies shall be funded by a fee schedule developed by the department that reflects the direct cost of retrieving the data or study in the requested form.
(5) The department
shall, in consultation and collaboration with the federally recognized tribes,
urban or other Indian health service organizations, and the federal area Indian
health service, design, develop, and maintain an American Indian-specific

information as described in the data use agreement; and
(b) Not re-disclose the data except as authorized in their data use
agreement consistent with the purpose of the agreement.
(9) Recipients of data under subsection (7)(b) and (c) of this section
must not attempt to determine the identity of persons whose information is
included in the data set or use the data in any manner that identifies
individuals or their families.
(10) For the purposes of this section:
(a) "Direct patient identifier" means information that
identifies a patient; and
(b) "Indirect patient identifier" means information that may
identify a patient when combined with other information.

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 28A.405.100 and 2012 c 35 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
(1)(a) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the superintendent of public instruction shall establish and may amend from time to time minimum criteria for the evaluation of the professional performance capabilities and development of certificated classroom teachers and certificated support personnel. For classroom teachers the criteria shall be developed in the following categories: Instructional skill; classroom management, professional preparation and scholarship; effort toward improvement when needed; the handling of student discipline and attendant problems; and interest in teaching pupils and knowledge of subject matter.
(b) Every board of directors shall, in accordance with procedure provided in RCW 41.59.010 through 41.59.170, 41.59.910, and 41.59.920, establish evaluative criteria and procedures for all certificated classroom teachers and certificated support personnel. The evaluative criteria must contain as a minimum the criteria established by the superintendent of public instruction pursuant to this section and must be prepared within six months following adoption of the superintendent of public instruction's minimum criteria. The district must certify to the superintendent of public instruction that evaluative criteria have been so prepared by the district.
(2)(a) Pursuant to the implementation schedule established in subsection (7)(c) of this section, every board of directors shall, in accordance with procedures provided in RCW 41.59.010 through 41.59.170, 41.59.910, and 41.59.920, establish revised evaluative criteria and a four-level rating system for all certificated classroom teachers.
(b) The minimum criteria shall include: (i) Centering instruction on high expectations for student achievement; (ii) demonstrating effective teaching practices; (iii) recognizing individual student learning needs and developing strategies to address those needs; (iv) providing clear and intentional focus on subject matter content and curriculum; (v) fostering and managing a safe, positive learning environment; (vi) using multiple student data elements to modify instruction and improve student learning; (vii) communicating and collaborating with parents and the school community; and (viii) exhibiting collaborative and collegial practices focused on improving instructional practice and student learning. Student growth data, as determined under (f) of this subsection, must be a substantial factor in evaluating the summative performance of certificated classroom teachers for at least three of the evaluation criteria listed in this subsection.
(c) The four-level rating system used to evaluate the certificated classroom teacher must describe performance along a continuum that indicates the extent to which the criteria have been met or exceeded. The summative performance ratings shall be as follows: Level 1 -unsatisfactory; level 2 - basic; level 3 - proficient; and level 4 -distinguished. A classroom teacher shall receive one of the four summative performance ratings for each of the minimum criteria in (b) of this subsection and one of the four summative performance ratings for the evaluation as a whole, which shall be the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating. By December 1, 2012, the superintendent of public instruction must adopt rules prescribing a common method for calculating the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating for each of the preferred instructional frameworks, including for a focused evaluation under subsection (12) of this section, giving appropriate weight to the indicators evaluated under each criteria and maximizing rater agreement among the frameworks.
(d) By December 1, 2012, the superintendent of public instruction shall adopt rules that provide descriptors for each of the summative performance ratings, based on the development work of pilot school districts under subsection (7) of this section. Any subsequent changes to the descriptors by the superintendent may only be made following consultation with a group broadly reflective of the parties represented in subsection (7)(a) of this section.
(e) By September 1, 2012, the superintendent of public instruction shall identify up to three preferred instructional frameworks that support the revised evaluation system. The instructional frameworks shall be research-based and establish definitions or rubrics for each of the four summative performance ratings for each evaluation criteria. Each school district must adopt one of the preferred instructional frameworks and post the selection on the district's web site. The superintendent of public instruction shall establish a process for approving minor modifications or adaptations to a preferred instructional framework that may be proposed by a school district.
(f)(i) Student
growth data that is relevant to the teacher and subject matter must be a factor
in the evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures that can
include classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools. However,
for teachers who teach reading or language arts or mathematics in a grade in
which the federally mandated statewide student assessments are administered,
one of the multiple measures of student growth must be the student results on
the relevant assessments. The office of the superintendent of public
instruction shall provide to each school district the relevant state-level
assessment information necessary to determine student growth for the purpose of
teacher evaluations.
(ii) Student growth data elements may include the teacher's
performance as a member of a grade‑level, subject matter, or other
instructional team within a school when the use of this data is relevant and
appropriate.
(iii) Any rules adopted by the
office of the superintendent of public instruction regarding student growth
goals set by a teacher and principal must assume that students achieve one year
of student growth in a given academic year. The goal may be less than one full
year of student growth when there are unavoidable circumstances on an
individual student basis.
(iv) Student growth data elements may also include the teacher's
performance as a member of the overall instructional team of a school when use
of this data is relevant and appropriate. As used in this subsection (2),
"student growth" means the change in student achievement between two
points in time.
(g) Student input may also be included in the evaluation process.
(3)(a) Except as provided in subsection (11) of this section, it shall be the responsibility of a principal or his or her designee to evaluate all certificated personnel in his or her school. During each school year all classroom teachers and certificated support personnel shall be observed for the purposes of evaluation at least twice in the performance of their assigned duties. Total observation time for each employee for each school year shall be not less than sixty minutes. An employee in the third year of provisional status as defined in RCW 28A.405.220 shall be observed at least three times in the performance of his or her duties and the total observation time for the school year shall not be less than ninety minutes. Following each observation, or series of observations, the principal or other evaluator shall promptly document the results of the observation in writing, and shall provide the employee with a copy thereof within three days after such report is prepared. New employees shall be observed at least once for a total observation time of thirty minutes during the first ninety calendar days of their employment period.
(b) As used in this subsection and subsection (4) of this section, "employees" means classroom teachers and certificated support personnel except where otherwise specified.
(4)(a) At any time after October 15th, an employee whose work is not judged satisfactory based on district evaluation criteria shall be notified in writing of the specific areas of deficiencies along with a reasonable program for improvement. For classroom teachers who have been transitioned to the revised evaluation system pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section, the following comprehensive summative evaluation performance ratings based on the evaluation criteria in subsection (2)(b) of this section mean a classroom teacher's work is not judged satisfactory:
(i) Level 1; or
(ii) Level 2 if the classroom teacher is a continuing contract employee under RCW 28A.405.210 with more than five years of teaching experience and if the level 2 comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating has been received for two consecutive years or for two years within a consecutive three-year time period.
(b) During the period of probation, the employee may not be transferred from the supervision of the original evaluator. Improvement of performance or probable cause for nonrenewal must occur and be documented by the original evaluator before any consideration of a request for transfer or reassignment as contemplated by either the individual or the school district. A probationary period of sixty school days shall be established. Days may be added if deemed necessary to complete a program for improvement and evaluate the probationer's performance, as long as the probationary period is concluded before May 15th of the same school year. The probationary period may be extended into the following school year if the probationer has five or more years of teaching experience and has a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating as of May 15th of less than level 2. The establishment of a probationary period does not adversely affect the contract status of an employee within the meaning of RCW 28A.405.300. The purpose of the probationary period is to give the employee opportunity to demonstrate improvements in his or her areas of deficiency. The establishment of the probationary period and the giving of the notice to the employee of deficiency shall be by the school district superintendent and need not be submitted to the board of directors for approval. During the probationary period the evaluator shall meet with the employee at least twice monthly to supervise and make a written evaluation of the progress, if any, made by the employee. The evaluator may authorize one additional certificated employee to evaluate the probationer and to aid the employee in improving his or her areas of deficiency. Should the evaluator not authorize such additional evaluator, the probationer may request that an additional certificated employee evaluator become part of the probationary process and this request must be implemented by including an additional experienced evaluator assigned by the educational service district in which the school district is located and selected from a list of evaluation specialists compiled by the educational service district. Such additional certificated employee shall be immune from any civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with regard to the good faith performance of such evaluation. If a procedural error occurs in the implementation of a program for improvement, the error does not invalidate the probationer's plan for improvement or evaluation activities unless the error materially affects the effectiveness of the plan or the ability to evaluate the probationer's performance. The probationer must be removed from probation if he or she has demonstrated improvement to the satisfaction of the evaluator in those areas specifically detailed in his or her initial notice of deficiency and subsequently detailed in his or her program for improvement. A classroom teacher who has been transitioned to the revised evaluation system pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section must be removed from probation if he or she has demonstrated improvement that results in a new comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of level 2 or above for a provisional employee or a continuing contract employee with five or fewer years of experience, or of level 3 or above for a continuing contract employee with more than five years of experience. Lack of necessary improvement during the established probationary period, as specifically documented in writing with notification to the probationer constitutes grounds for a finding of probable cause under RCW 28A.405.300 or 28A.405.210.
(c) When a continuing
contract employee with five or more years of experience receives a
comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating below level 2 for two
consecutive years, the school district shall, within ten days of the completion
of the second comprehensive summative ((comprehensive [comprehensive
summative])) evaluation or May 15th, whichever occurs first, implement the
employee notification of discharge as provided in RCW 28A.405.300.
(d) Immediately following the completion of a probationary period that does not produce performance changes detailed in the initial notice of deficiencies and program for improvement, the employee may be removed from his or her assignment and placed into an alternative assignment for the remainder of the school year. In the case of a classroom teacher who has been transitioned to the revised evaluation system pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section, the teacher may be removed from his or her assignment and placed into an alternative assignment for the remainder of the school year immediately following the completion of a probationary period that does not result in the required comprehensive summative evaluation performance ratings specified in (b) of this subsection. This reassignment may not displace another employee nor may it adversely affect the probationary employee's compensation or benefits for the remainder of the employee's contract year. If such reassignment is not possible, the district may, at its option, place the employee on paid leave for the balance of the contract term.
(5) Every board of directors shall establish evaluative criteria and procedures for all superintendents, principals, and other administrators. It shall be the responsibility of the district superintendent or his or her designee to evaluate all administrators. Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, such evaluation shall be based on the administrative position job description. Such criteria, when applicable, shall include at least the following categories: Knowledge of, experience in, and training in recognizing good professional performance, capabilities and development; school administration and management; school finance; professional preparation and scholarship; effort toward improvement when needed; interest in pupils, employees, patrons and subjects taught in school; leadership; and ability and performance of evaluation of school personnel.
(6)(a) Pursuant to the implementation schedule established by subsection (7)(b) of this section, every board of directors shall establish revised evaluative criteria and a four-level rating system for principals.
(b) The minimum criteria shall include: (i) Creating a school culture that promotes the ongoing improvement of learning and teaching for students and staff; (ii) demonstrating commitment to closing the achievement gap; (iii) providing for school safety; (iv) leading the development, implementation, and evaluation of a data-driven plan for increasing student achievement, including the use of multiple student data elements; (v) assisting instructional staff with alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment with state and local district learning goals; (vi) monitoring, assisting, and evaluating effective instruction and assessment practices; (vii) managing both staff and fiscal resources to support student achievement and legal responsibilities; and (viii) partnering with the school community to promote student learning. Student growth data, as determined under (f) of this subsection, must be a substantial factor in evaluating the summative performance of the principal for at least three of the evaluation criteria listed in this subsection.
(c) The four-level rating system used to evaluate the principal must describe performance along a continuum that indicates the extent to which the criteria have been met or exceeded. The summative performance ratings shall be as follows: Level 1 - unsatisfactory; level 2 - basic; level 3 - proficient; and level 4 - distinguished. A principal shall receive one of the four summative performance ratings for each of the minimum criteria in (b) of this subsection and one of the four summative performance ratings for the evaluation as a whole, which shall be the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating.
(d) By December 1, 2012, the superintendent of public instruction shall adopt rules that provide descriptors for each of the summative performance ratings, based on the development work of pilot school districts under subsection (7) of this section. Any subsequent changes to the descriptors by the superintendent may only be made following consultation with a group broadly reflective of the parties represented in subsection (7)(a) of this section.
(e) By September 1, 2012, the superintendent of public instruction shall identify up to three preferred leadership frameworks that support the revised evaluation system. The leadership frameworks shall be research-based and establish definitions or rubrics for each of the four performance ratings for each evaluation criteria. Each school district shall adopt one of the preferred leadership frameworks and post the selection on the district's web site. The superintendent of public instruction shall establish a process for approving minor modifications or adaptations to a preferred leadership framework that may be proposed by a school district.
(f)(i) Student
growth data that is relevant to the principal must be a factor in the
evaluation process and must be based on multiple measures that can include
classroom-based, school-based, district-based, and state-based tools. However,
for principals assigned to a school in which reading or language arts or
mathematics are taught in at least one of the grades in which the federally
mandated statewide assessments are administered, one of the multiple measures
of student growth must be the student results on the relevant assessments. The
office of the superintendent of public instruction shall provide to each school
district the relevant state-level assessment information necessary to determine
student growth for the purpose of principal evaluations.
(ii) As used in this subsection (6), "student
growth" means the change in student achievement between two points in
time.
(g) Input from building staff may also be included in the evaluation process.
(h) For principals who have been transitioned to the revised evaluation system pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section, the following comprehensive summative evaluation performance ratings mean a principal's work is not judged satisfactory:
(i) Level 1; or
(ii) Level 2 if the principal has more than five years of experience in the principal role and if the level 2 comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating has been received for two consecutive years or for two years within a consecutive three-year time period.
(7)(a) The superintendent of public instruction, in collaboration with state associations representing teachers, principals, administrators, school board members, and parents, to be known as the steering committee, shall create models for implementing the evaluation system criteria, student growth tools, professional development programs, and evaluator training for certificated classroom teachers and principals. Human resources specialists, professional development experts, and assessment experts must also be consulted. Due to the diversity of teaching assignments and the many developmental levels of students, classroom teachers and principals must be prominently represented in this work. The models must be available for use in the 2011-12 school year.
(b) A new certificated classroom teacher evaluation system that implements the provisions of subsection (2) of this section and a new principal evaluation system that implements the provisions of subsection (6) of this section shall be phased-in beginning with the 2010-11 school year by districts identified in (d) of this subsection and implemented in all school districts beginning with the 2013-14 school year.
(c) Each school district board of directors shall adopt a schedule for implementation of the revised evaluation systems that transitions a portion of classroom teachers and principals in the district to the revised evaluation systems each year beginning no later than the 2013-14 school year, until all classroom teachers and principals are being evaluated under the revised evaluation systems no later than the 2015- 16 school year. A school district is not precluded from completing the transition of all classroom teachers and principals to the revised evaluation systems before the 2015-16 school year. The schedule adopted under this subsection (7)(c) must provide that the following employees are transitioned to the revised evaluation systems beginning in the 2013-14 school year:
(i) Classroom teachers who are provisional employees under RCW 28A.405.220;
(ii) Classroom teachers who are on probation under subsection (4) of this section;
(iii) Principals in the first three consecutive school years of employment as a principal;
(iv) Principals whose work is not judged satisfactory in their most recent evaluation; and
(v) Principals previously employed as a principal by another school district in the state of Washington for three or more consecutive school years and in the first full year as a principal in the school district.
(d) A set of school districts shall be selected by the superintendent of public instruction to participate in a collaborative process resulting in the development and piloting of new certificated classroom teacher and principal evaluation systems during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years. These school districts must be selected based on: (i) The agreement of the local associations representing classroom teachers and principals to collaborate with the district in this developmental work and (ii) the agreement to participate in the full range of development and implementation activities, including: Development of rubrics for the evaluation criteria and ratings in subsections (2) and (6) of this section; identification of or development of appropriate multiple measures of student growth in subsections (2) and (6) of this section; development of appropriate evaluation system forms; participation in professional development for principals and classroom teachers regarding the content of the new evaluation system; participation in evaluator training; and participation in activities to evaluate the effectiveness of the new systems and support programs. The school districts must submit to the office of the superintendent of public instruction data that is used in evaluations and all district-collected student achievement, aptitude, and growth data regardless of whether the data is used in evaluations. If the data is not available electronically, the district may submit it in nonelectronic form. The superintendent of public instruction must analyze the districts' use of student data in evaluations, including examining the extent that student data is not used or is underutilized. The superintendent of public instruction must also consult with participating districts and stakeholders, recommend appropriate changes, and address statewide implementation issues. The superintendent of public instruction shall report evaluation system implementation status, evaluation data, and recommendations to appropriate committees of the legislature and governor by July 1, 2011, and at the conclusion of the development phase by July 1, 2012. In the July 1, 2011, report, the superintendent shall include recommendations for whether a single statewide evaluation model should be adopted, whether modified versions developed by school districts should be subject to state approval, and what the criteria would be for determining if a school district's evaluation model meets or exceeds a statewide model. The report shall also identify challenges posed by requiring a state approval process.
(e)(i) The steering
committee in (a) of this subsection (((7)(a) of this section))
and the pilot school districts in (d) of this subsection (((7)(d) of
this section)) shall continue to examine implementation issues and refine
tools for the new certificated classroom teacher evaluation system in
subsection (2) of this section and the new principal evaluation system in
subsection (6) of this section during the 2013‑14 through 2015‑16
implementation phase.
(ii) Particular attention shall be given to the following issues:
(A) Developing a report for the legislature and governor, due by December 1, 2013, of best practices and recommendations regarding how teacher and principal evaluations and other appropriate elements shall inform school district human resource and personnel practices. The legislature and governor are provided the opportunity to review the report and recommendations during the 2014 legislative session;
(B) Taking the new teacher and principal evaluation systems to scale and the use of best practices for statewide implementation;
(C) Providing guidance regarding the use of student growth data to assure it is used responsibly and with integrity;
(D) Refining evaluation system management tools, professional development programs, and evaluator training programs with an emphasis on developing rater reliability;
(E) Reviewing emerging research regarding teacher and principal evaluation systems and the development and implementation of evaluation systems in other states;
(F) Reviewing the impact that variable demographic characteristics of students and schools have on the objectivity, reliability, validity, and availability of student growth data; and
(G) Developing recommendations regarding how teacher evaluations could inform state policies regarding the criteria for a teacher to obtain continuing contract status under RCW 28A.405.210. In developing these recommendations the experiences of school districts and teachers during the evaluation transition phase must be considered. Recommendations must be reported by July 1, 2016, to the legislature and the governor.
(iii) To support the tasks in (e)(ii) of this subsection, the superintendent of public instruction may contract with an independent research organization with expertise in educator evaluations and knowledge of the revised evaluation systems being implemented under this section.
(iv) The superintendent of public instruction shall monitor the statewide implementation of revised teacher and principal evaluation systems using data reported under RCW 28A.150.230 as well as periodic input from focus groups of administrators, principals, and teachers.
(v) The superintendent of public instruction shall submit reports detailing findings, emergent issues or trends, recommendations from the steering committee, and pilot school districts, and other recommendations, to enhance implementation and continuous improvement of the revised evaluation systems to appropriate committees of the legislature and the governor beginning July 1, 2013, and each July 1st thereafter for each year of the school district implementation transition period concluding with a report on December 1, 2016.
(8)(a) Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, evaluation results for certificated classroom teachers and principals must be used as one of multiple factors in making human resource and personnel decisions. Human resource decisions include, but are not limited to: Staff assignment, including the consideration of an agreement to an assignment by an appropriate teacher, principal, and superintendent; and reduction in force. Nothing in this section limits the ability to collectively bargain how the multiple factors shall be used in making human resource or personnel decisions, with the exception that evaluation results must be a factor.
(b) The office of the superintendent of public instruction must report to the legislature and the governor regarding the school district implementation of the provisions of (a) of this subsection by December 1, 2017.
(9) Each certificated classroom teacher and certificated support personnel shall have the opportunity for confidential conferences with his or her immediate supervisor on no less than two occasions in each school year. Such confidential conference shall have as its sole purpose the aiding of the administrator in his or her assessment of the employee's professional performance.
(10) The failure of any evaluator to evaluate or supervise or cause the evaluation or supervision of certificated classroom teachers and certificated support personnel or administrators in accordance with this section, as now or hereafter amended, when it is his or her specific assigned or delegated responsibility to do so, shall be sufficient cause for the nonrenewal of any such evaluator's contract under RCW 28A.405.210, or the discharge of such evaluator under RCW 28A.405.300.
(11) After a certificated classroom teacher or certificated support personnel has four years of satisfactory evaluations under subsection (1) of this section, a school district may use a short form of evaluation, a locally bargained evaluation emphasizing professional growth, an evaluation under subsection (1) or (2) of this section, or any combination thereof. The short form of evaluation shall include either a thirty minute observation during the school year with a written summary or a final annual written evaluation based on the criteria in subsection (1) or (2) of this section and based on at least two observation periods during the school year totaling at least sixty minutes without a written summary of such observations being prepared. A locally bargained short-form evaluation emphasizing professional growth must provide that the professional growth activity conducted by the certificated classroom teacher be specifically linked to one or more of the certificated classroom teacher evaluation criteria. However, the evaluation process set forth in subsection (1) or (2) of this section shall be followed at least once every three years unless this time is extended by a local school district under the bargaining process set forth in chapter 41.59 RCW. The employee or evaluator may require that the evaluation process set forth in subsection (1) or (2) of this section be conducted in any given school year. No evaluation other than the evaluation authorized under subsection (1) or (2) of this section may be used as a basis for determining that an employee's work is not satisfactory under subsection (1) or (2) of this section or as probable cause for the nonrenewal of an employee's contract under RCW 28A.405.210 unless an evaluation process developed under chapter 41.59 RCW determines otherwise. The provisions of this subsection apply to certificated classroom teachers only until the teacher has been transitioned to the revised evaluation system pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section.
(12) All certificated classroom teachers and principals who have been transitioned to the revised evaluation systems pursuant to the district implementation schedule adopted under subsection (7)(c) of this section must receive annual performance evaluations as provided in this subsection:
(a) All classroom teachers and principals shall receive a comprehensive summative evaluation at least once every four years. A comprehensive summative evaluation assesses all eight evaluation criteria and all criteria contribute to the comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating.
(b) The following categories of classroom teachers and principals shall receive an annual comprehensive summative evaluation:
(i) Classroom teachers who are provisional employees under RCW 28A.405.220;
(ii) Principals in the first three consecutive school years of employment as a principal;
(iii) Principals previously employed as a principal by another school district in the state of Washington for three or more consecutive school years and in the first full year as a principal in the school district; and
(iv) Any classroom teacher or principal who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of level 1 or level 2 in the previous school year.
(c)(i) In the years when a comprehensive summative evaluation is not required, classroom teachers and principals who received a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating of level 3 or above in the previous school year are required to complete a focused evaluation. A focused evaluation includes an assessment of one of the eight criteria selected for a performance rating plus professional growth activities specifically linked to the selected criteria.
(ii) The selected criteria must be approved by the teacher's or principal's evaluator and may have been identified in a previous comprehensive summative evaluation as benefiting from additional attention. A group of teachers may focus on the same evaluation criteria and share professional growth activities. A group of principals may focus on the same evaluation criteria and share professional growth activities.
(iii) The evaluator must assign a comprehensive summative evaluation performance rating for the focused evaluation using the methodology adopted by the superintendent of public instruction for the instructional or leadership framework being used.
(iv) A teacher or principal may be transferred from a focused evaluation to a comprehensive summative evaluation at the request of the teacher or principal, or at the direction of the teacher's or principal's evaluator.
(v) Due to the importance of instructional leadership and assuring rater agreement among evaluators, particularly those evaluating teacher performance, school districts are encouraged to conduct comprehensive summative evaluations of principal performance on an annual basis.
(vi) A classroom teacher or principal may apply the focused evaluation professional growth activities toward the professional growth plan for professional certificate renewal as required by the professional educator standards board.
(13) Each school district is encouraged to acknowledge and recognize classroom teachers and principals who have attained level 4 -distinguished performance ratings."
