     AN ACT Relating to providing internet access to public school data and expenditure information; adding a new section to chapter 28A.320 RCW; adding a new section to chapter 28A.325 RCW; and creating a new section.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   It is the legislature's intent to improve the transparency of certain public school data and expenditure information that may currently be available as a public record but is not easily accessible to the general public. For example, there is not a consistent policy for providing easy access to information about either public school employee collective bargaining agreements or associated student body program funds.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2   A new section is added to chapter 28A.320 RCW to read as follows:
     Each school district, charter school, and state-tribal compact school must publish on its web site a copy of its public school employee collective bargaining agreements by September 1, 2014, and thereafter must update the web site within thirty days of approval, renewal, or amendment of any such agreement.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3   A new section is added to chapter 28A.325 RCW to read as follows:
     (1) Each school district that has an associated student body program fund must publish the following information about the fund on its web site:
     (a) The fund balance at the beginning of the school year;
     (b) Summary data about expenditures and revenues occurring over the course of the school year; and
     (c) The fund balance at the end of the school year.
     (2) The information under this section must be published for each associated student body of the district and each account within the associated student body program fund.
     (3) If the school district web site contains separate web sites for schools in the district, the information under this section must be published on the web site of the applicable school of the associated student body.
     (4) No later than August 31, 2014, school districts must publish the information under this section on their web sites for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. School districts must add updated annual information to their web sites by each August 31st, except that school districts are only required to maintain the information on the web site from the previous five years.


         Passed by the Senate March 11, 2014.
         Passed by the House March 7, 2014.
         Approved by the Governor April 3, 2014.
