On page 3, beginning on line 32, after "high" strike all material through "principals" on line 33, and insert "schools"
On page 3, line 34, after "program" insert "using methods in place for communicating with schools and school districts"
On page 3, after line 36, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 4 Each school district shall notify students,
parents, teachers, counselors, and principals about the Washington
college bound scholarship program through existing channels.
Notification methods may include, but are not limited to, regular
school district and building communications, online scholarship
bulletins and announcements, notices posted on school walls and
bulletin boards, information available in each counselor's office, and
school or district scholarship information sessions."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
EFFECT: Removes the requirement that the OSPI provide direct notification about the scholarship program to students, parents, teachers, counselors, and principals. Instead, the OSPI must notify elementary, middle, and junior high schools about the program, and school districts must notify students, parents, teachers, counselors, and principals.
