MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes that there are specific skills and a body of knowledge that each student needs to chart a course through middle school, high school, and post-high school options. Each student needs active involvement from parents and at least one supportive adult in the school who knows the student well and cares about the student's progress and future. Students, parents, and teachers also need the benefit of immediate feedback and accurate diagnosis of students' academic strengths and weaknesses to inform the students' short-term and long-term plans. To empower and motivate all students and parents to take a greater role in charting the students' own educational experiences, the legislature intends to strengthen schools' guidance and planning programs.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 28A.600 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature encourages each middle school, junior high school, and high school to implement a comprehensive guidance and planning program for all students. The purpose of the program is to support students as they navigate their education and plan their future; encourage an ongoing and personal relationship between each student and an adult in the school; and involve parents in students' educational decisions and plans.
(2) A comprehensive guidance and planning program is a program that contains at least the following components:
(a) A curriculum intended to provide the skills and knowledge students need to select courses, explore options, plan for their future, and take steps to implement their plans. The curriculum may include such topics as analysis of students' test results; diagnostic assessments of students' academic strengths and weaknesses; use of assessment results in developing students' short-term and long-term plans; assessments of student interests and aptitude; goal-setting skills; planning for high school course selection; independent living skills; and postsecondary options and how to access them;
(b) Regular meetings between each student and a teacher who serves as an advisor throughout the student's enrollment at the school;
(c) Student-led conferences with the student's parents, guardians, or family members and the student's advisor for the purpose of demonstrating the student's accomplishments; identifying weaknesses; planning and selecting courses; and setting long-term goals; and
(d) Data collection that allows schools to monitor students' progress.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1) Subject to the availability of funds appropriated for this purpose, the superintendent of public instruction shall:
(a) Develop and disseminate the curriculum for the comprehensive guidance and planning program under section 2 of this act to all school districts no later than the beginning of the 2006-07 school year;
(b) Develop and disseminate electronic student planning tools and a software package to analyze the impact of the implementation of the program on student performance;

(d) Develop and conduct regional training seminars for teachers on the curriculum and on guidance and mentoring skills;
(e) Monitor and evaluate implementation of the program during the fall of 2006 in order to revise and improve the curriculum by the spring of 2007; and
(f) Allocate grants to selected schools for the purpose of implementing the program. The superintendent shall develop and publish the grant selection criteria, number of awards, and award amounts. The first round of at least twenty-five grant recipients shall be selected and notified by September 2006. The second round of at least seventy-five grant recipients shall be selected and notified by January 2007. The purpose of the grants is to provide time for school staff to plan and integrate the comprehensive program into their schools. To the extent possible, the superintendent shall include representation from school districts of varying sizes and from different geographic regions of the state in the grant allocation.
(2) By January 1, 2009, the superintendent of public instruction shall report to the education committees of the legislature regarding the impact of comprehensive guidance and planning programs on student performance.
Sec. 4. RCW 28A.655.200 and 2005 c 217 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) ((The legislature finds that the mandatory norm-referenced student assessments eliminated under chapter 217, Laws of 2005 provide information that teachers and parents use to improve student learning.)) In the absence of mandatory, statewide, norm-referenced assessments, the legislature intends to permit school districts to offer norm-referenced assessments ((at the districts' own expense and)), make diagnostic tools available ((that provide information that is at least as valuable as the information eliminated under chapter 217, Laws of 2005)), and provide funding for diagnostic assessments to enhance guidance and planning for students and to provide early intervention before the high school Washington assessment of student learning.
(2) In addition to the diagnostic assessments provided under subsection (5) of this section, school districts may, at their own expense, administer norm-referenced assessments to students.
(3) By September 1, 2005, subject to available funds, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall post on its web site for voluntary use by school districts, a guide of diagnostic assessments. The assessments in the guide, to the extent possible, shall include the characteristics listed in subsection (4)(((a) through (e))) of this section.
(4) ((By September 1, 2006, subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose)) Beginning September 1, 2007, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall make available to school districts diagnostic assessments that help improve student learning. To the greatest extent possible, the assessments shall be:

(b) Individualized to each student's performance level;
(c) Administered efficiently to provide results either immediately or within two weeks;
(d) Capable of measuring individual student growth over time and allowing student progress to be compared to other students across the country; ((and))
(e) Readily available to parents; and
(f) Cost-effective.
(5) Beginning with the 2006-07 school year, the superintendent of public instruction shall reimburse school districts for administration of diagnostic assessments in grade nine for the purpose of identifying academic weaknesses, enhancing student planning and guidance, and developing targeted instructional strategies to assist students before the high school Washington assessment of student learning.
(6) The office of the superintendent of public instruction is encouraged to offer at ((their)) statewide and regional staff development activities training opportunities that would assist practitioners in:
(a) The interpretation of diagnostic assessments; and
(b) Application of instructional strategies that will increase student learning based on diagnostic assessment data.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. If specific funding for the purposes of this act and section 4 of this act, referencing this act and section 4 of this act by bill or chapter number and section number, is not provided by June 30, 2006, in the omnibus appropriations act, section 4 of this act is null and void."

Energy Freedom Program (06-2-852)
The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1)(a) The appropriation is provided solely for low-interest loans to political subdivisions for renewable energy projects including the development of biofuel oilseed crushers, supporting infrastructure, and facilities. The political subdivision may negotiate an appropriate agreement with the bioenergy industry for the use of the oilseed crushers, supporting infrastructure, and facilities.
(b) For purposes of this section, political subdivision means any port district, county, city, town, special purpose district, and any other municipal corporations or quasi-municipal corporations in the state.

$750,000 |
Total |
$9,000,000 |
(3) All agreements negotiated between the political subdivision and the bioenergy industry for use of the oilseed crushers, supporting infrastructure, or facilities funded in this section must provide for at least a fifty percent match by the industry partner. The industry match may include, but is not limited to, investments in rail, buildings, refining capacity, or seed stock.
(4) All other project funds must be disbursed prior to energy freedom loans, except where required on a matching basis by other federal or state programs.
(5) The department shall disburse loans to the political subdivision on a reimbursement basis only.
(6) The department may defer loan repayment for up to twenty-four months or until the projects start to receive revenue from operations, whichever is sooner.
(7) Upon written notice to the political subdivision, the department may suspend or cancel its loans if any of the following occur:
(a) The political subdivision fails to make satisfactory and reasonable progress to complete the project, or the department concludes the political subdivision will be unable to complete the project or any portion of it; or
(b) The political subdivision or bioenergy industry partners have made misrepresentations in any information furnished to the department or the legislature in connection with the project.
(8) In the event that any portion of the loan has been paid to the political subdivision under this section at the time of breach, or failure of the political subdivision to satisfactorily perform, the department may require that the full amount of the loan, or a portion thereof, be repaid within a period specified by the department.
(9) Future loan repayments shall be deposited into the energy freedom account created in section 3 of this act.
(10) Chapter 39.12 RCW applies to the renewable energy projects funded in whole or in part by the appropriation in this section.
(11) It is the intent of the legislature to provide loans for the development of a Washington state biodiesel industry based on Washington grown oilseed. The legislature is aware that in the development of this industry, the start-up process may necessitate the use of other oilseeds until Washington state growers plant sufficient crops to support this industry. The legislature also understands the realities of weather and market conditions in this process. The conversion to maximum Washington grown oilseed must be accomplished as quickly as possible. The political subdivision shall: (a) Develop a plan for outreach to local growers and an estimate of when maximum Washington state oilseed-based production will be reached; (b) develop a goal for the political subdivision to return a portion of the biofuel to local oilseed producers; and (c) report this information to the department of community, trade, and economic development by December 1, 2006. The department shall report on the implementation of this section by January 1, 2007, to the appropriate committees of the legislature.

The project shall also include leasable ground floor retail space on Capital Way. The department shall consult with statewide elected officials and the city of Olympia in developing the predesign. ((The predesign shall evaluate the use of the Pritchard building as one of the options for use by the state library and historically significant documents from the state archives and state historical museum.)) Due to the intended replacement of the building adjoining Capital Way and 11th avenue, the department shall not charge the facility depreciation component of lease charges for nonprofit tenants in that facility during the 2005-2007 biennium.

Sec. 200. 2005 c 488 s 905 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
(1) To ensure that minor works appropriations are carried out in accordance with legislative intent, funds appropriated in this act shall not be allotted until project lists are on file at the office of financial management ((and the office of financial management has formally approved the lists. Proposed revisions)), the house of representatives capital budget committee, and the senate ways and means committee. All projects must meet the criteria included in subsection (2)(a) of this section. Revisions to the lists must be filed with ((and approved by)) the office of financial management, the house of representatives capital budget committee, and the senate ways and means committee and include an explanation of variances from the prior list before funds may be expended on the revisions.
(2)(a) Minor works projects are single line appropriations that shall include multiple projects valued between $25,000 and $1,000,000 each that are of a similar nature and can ((generally)) be completed within two years of the appropriation with the funding provided. These projects cannot be combined with or be a part of an overall project, that if combined over a continuous period of time, would exceed $1,000,000. Minor works categories include (i) health, safety, and code requirements; (ii) facility preservation; (iii) infrastructure preservation; and (iv) program improvement or expansion. Improvements for accessibility in compliance with the Americans with disabilities act may be included in any of the above minor works categories.
(b) Minor works appropriations shall not be used for, among other things: Studies, except for technical or engineering reviews or designs that lead directly to and support a project on the same minor works list; planning; design outside the scope of work on a minor works list; moveable, temporary, and traditionally funded operating equipment not in compliance with the equipment criteria established by the office of financial management; software not dedicated to control of a specialized system; moving expenses; land or facility acquisition; or to supplement funding for projects with funding shortfalls unless expressly authorized elsewhere in this act. The office of financial management may make an exception to the limitations described in this subsection (2)(b) for exigent circumstances after notifying the legislative fiscal committees and waiting ten days for comments by the legislature regarding the proposed exception.
(3) The ((office of financial management)) agency shall ((forward)) provide copies of these project lists and revised lists to the office of financial management, the house of representatives capital budget committee, and the senate ways and means committee. No expenditure may be incurred or obligation entered into for minor works appropriations until the office of financial management has approved the allotment of the funds to be expended. The office of financial management shall encourage state agencies to incorporate accessibility planning and improvements into the normal and customary capital program.
(4) It is generally not intended to make future appropriations for capital expenditures or for maintenance and operating expenses for an acquisition project or a significant expansion project that is initiated through the minor works process and therefore does not receive a policy and fiscal analysis by the legislature. Minor works projects are intended to be one-time expenditures that do not require future state resources to complete.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 204. A new section is added to 2005 c 488 (uncodified) to read as follows:
The legislature finds that the January 23, 2006, report on 63-20 capital projects financing submitted by the state treasurer raised significant issues that could benefit from additional exploration and analysis. The legislature further finds that financing costs are only one important dimension to consider when analyzing and comparing the use of conventional bonds with other capital project financing mechanisms in the development of major public facilities. Other factors that must be considered include total project and life-cycle costs, long-term costs of capital, scheduling, generally accepted accounting principles, transfer of risk, project management, project complexity, public works contracting procedures, and applicability of private sector strategies or practices in the development and ongoing maintenance of public facilities.
The office of financial management and the department of general administration, in consultation with legislative staff from the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the legislature shall:
(1) Research models and best practices used by other governments and private industry to provide major facility and infrastructure information for budgeting purposes, including the updated joint legislative audit and review committee life-cycle cost model in section 102 of this act. The analysis must include total cost of capital and long-term forecasting information for facility preservation, major facility or system replacement, and new capacity to result in more effective investment decisions for major public facilities and infrastructure.
(2) Develop recommendations that incorporate best practices in the state's capital budgeting process and public works contracting procedures, including lessons learned from 63-20 financing projects entered into by state agencies or local governments.
(3) Develop recommendations for appropriate uses of alternative capital project financing instruments and a corresponding decision making process.
(4) Develop a strategy to manage risk and reduce the potential for claims and litigation associated with state construction projects. This strategy must include the enumeration of best practices for the management of project risk and conflicts, in order to minimize future expenses related to construction claims.
(5) Coordinate with the capital projects advisory review board created in chapter 377, Laws of 2005 to evaluate public capital project construction processes and policies related to alternative public works delivery methods.
(6) Submit report findings and recommendations to the appropriate fiscal committees of the legislature by September 1, 2007.

Sec. 201. 2005 c 518 s 201 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES.
(1) Appropriations made in this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose.
(2) The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services that require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula basis by state funds.
(3)(a) The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. However, after May 1, 2006, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department may transfer general fund--state appropriations for fiscal year 2006 among programs after approval by the director of financial management. However, the department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose except as expressly provided in (b) of this subsection.
(b) To the extent that transfers under (a) of this subsection are insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2006 caseload forecasts and utilization assumptions in the medical assistance, long-term care, foster care, adoption support, and child support programs, the department may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose, other than family support appropriations for the developmental disabilities program in section 205(1)(e) of this act, after approval by the director of financial management.
(c) The director of financial management shall notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment modifications or transfers under this subsection. The written notification shall include a narrative explanation and justification of the changes, along with expenditures and allotments by budget unit and appropriation, both before and after any allotment modifications or transfers.
(4) The department is authorized to expend up to $13,500,000 of its general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 for any reductions in federal funding in fiscal year 2006 for targeted case management services for children who are in the care of the state. The director of financial management shall notify the appropriate fiscal committees of the senate and house of representatives in writing seven days prior to approving any allotment modifications under this subsection.
(5) The department is authorized to develop an integrated health care program designed to slow the progression of illness and disability and better manage Medicaid expenditures for the aged and disabled population. Under this Washington medicaid integration partnership (WMIP) the department may combine and transfer such Medicaid funds appropriated under sections 204, 206, 208, and 209 of this act as may be necessary to finance a unified health care plan for the WMIP program enrollment. The WMIP pilot projects shall not exceed a daily enrollment of 6,000 persons during the 2005-2007 biennium. The amount of funding assigned to the pilot projects from each program may not exceed the average per capita cost assumed in this act for individuals covered by that program, actuarially adjusted for the health condition of persons enrolled in the pilot, times the number of clients enrolled in the pilot. In implementing the WMIP pilot projects, the department may: (a) Withhold from calculations of "available resources" as set forth in RCW 71.24.025 a sum equal to the capitated rate for individuals enrolled in the pilots; and (b) employ capitation financing and risk-sharing arrangements in collaboration with health care service contractors licensed by the office of the insurance commissioner and qualified to participate in both the medicaid and medicare programs. The department shall conduct an evaluation of the WMIP, measuring changes in participant health outcomes, changes in patterns of service utilization, participant satisfaction, participant access to services, and the state fiscal impact.
(((4))) (6) In accordance with RCW 74.39A.300, the appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act are sufficient to implement the compensation and fringe benefits of the collective bargaining agreement reached between the governor and the exclusive bargaining representative of individual providers of home care services.

(2) The department shall continue to extend medicaid eligibility to children through age 18 residing in households with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
(3) In determining financial eligibility for medicaid-funded services, the department is authorized to disregard recoveries by Holocaust survivors of insurance proceeds or other assets, as defined in RCW 48.104.030.
(4) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to continue podiatry services for medicaid-eligible adults.
(5) Sufficient amounts are appropriated in this section for the department to provide an adult dental benefit that is equivalent to the benefit provided in the 2003-05 biennium.
(6) In accordance with RCW 74.46.625, $6,000,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation is provided solely for supplemental payments to nursing homes operated by public hospital districts. The public hospital district shall be responsible for providing the required nonfederal match for the supplemental payment, and the payments shall not exceed the maximum allowable under federal rules. It is the legislature's intent that the payments shall be supplemental to and shall not in any way offset or reduce the payments calculated and provided in accordance with part E of chapter 74.46 RCW. It is the legislature's further intent that costs otherwise allowable for rate-setting and settlement against payments under chapter 74.46 RCW shall not be disallowed solely because such costs have been paid by revenues retained by the nursing home from these supplemental payments.
(7) (($1,660,000)) $2,221,000 of the health services account appropriation, (($4,361,000)) $5,402,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation, (($1,350,000)) $1,590,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006, and (($1,351,000)) $1,591,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for grants to rural hospitals.

(8) (($22,081,000)) $21,092,000 of the health services account appropriation and (($20,714,000)) $19,725,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided solely for grants to nonrural hospitals.

(9) In response to the federal directive to eliminate intergovernmental transfer transactions effective June 30, 2005, the department is directed to implement the inpatient hospital certified public expenditures program for the 2005-07 biennium.

Hospitals in the program shall be paid and shall retain (a) one hundred percent of the federal portion of each medicaid inpatient fee-for-service claim payable by the medical assistance administration; and (b) one hundred percent of the federal portion of the maximum disproportionate share hospital payment allowable under federal regulations.

The department shall provide participating hospitals with the information and instructions needed by the hospital to certify the public expenditures required to qualify for the federal portions of both the medicaid inpatient fee-for-service payments and the disproportionate share hospital payments. In the event that any part of the program including, but not limited to, allowable certified public expenditures, is disallowed by the federal government, the department shall not seek recoupment of payments from the hospitals, provided the hospitals have complied with the directions of the department for participation in the program. The legislature intends that hospitals in the program receive no less in combined state and federal payments than they would have received under the methodology that was in place during fiscal year 2005. The department shall therefore make additional grant payments, not to exceed the amounts ((provided)) specified in this subsection, to hospitals whose total payments under the program would otherwise be less than the total state and federal payments they would have received under the methodology in effect during fiscal year 2005.

(a) An update of the 1992 timber supply study for Washington state that was conducted by the University of Washington. The update may be accomplished by reviewing the most recent similar data available in existing reports, examining a sample of the original 1992 study sample of lands, and through other existing data sources that may reveal relevant trends and changes since 1992.
(b) An independent assessment of the economic contribution of the forest products industry, and secondary manufacturing sectors, to the state. This assessment will also examine some of the macroeconomic trends likely to affect the industry in the future.
(c) A comparison of the competitive position of Washington's forest products industry globally, and with other leading forest products states, or regions, of the United States. This evaluation should compare the relative tax burden for growing and harvesting timber between the states or regions and the relative cost of adhering to regulations, and identify the competitive advantages of each state or region.

The assessment will involve gathering relevant data, reviewing that data, and analyzing the relationship between development and the conversion of forest land uses.
(e) Recommendations on: (i) Policy changes that would enhance the competitive position of Washington's forest products industry in Washington state; (ii) policy changes that would, to the extent possible, ensure that a productive forest land base continues to be managed for forest products, recreation, and environmental and other public benefits into the future; and (iii) policy changes that would enhance the recreational opportunities on working forest lands in the state.

Staff allocations for small school enrollments in (d) through (f) of this subsection shall be reduced for vocational full-time equivalent enrollments. Staff allocations for small school enrollments in grades K-6 shall be the greater of that generated under (a) of this subsection, or under (d) and (e) of this subsection. Certificated staffing allocations shall be as follows:
(a) On the basis of each 1,000 average annual full-time equivalent enrollments, excluding full-time equivalent enrollment otherwise recognized for certificated staff unit allocations under (c) through (f) of this subsection:

(A) Funds provided under this subsection (2)(a)(iv) in excess of the amount required to maintain the statutory minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(b) shall be allocated only if the district documents an actual ratio in grades K-4 equal to or greater than 53.2 certificated instructional staff per thousand full-time equivalent students. For any school district documenting a lower certificated instructional staff ratio, the allocation shall be based on the district's actual grades K-4 certificated instructional staff ratio achieved in that school year, or the statutory minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(b), if greater;
(B) Districts at or above 51.0 certificated instructional staff per one thousand full-time equivalent students in grades K-4 may dedicate up to 1.3 of the 53.2 funding ratio to employ additional classified instructional assistants assigned to basic education classrooms in grades K-4. For purposes of documenting a district's staff ratio under this section, funds used by the district to employ additional classified instructional assistants shall be converted to a certificated staff equivalent and added to the district's actual certificated instructional staff ratio. Additional classified instructional assistants, for the purposes of this subsection, shall be determined using the 1989-90 school year as the base year;
(C) Any district maintaining a ratio in grades K-4 equal to or greater than 53.2 certificated instructional staff per thousand full-time equivalent students may use allocations generated under this subsection (2)(a)(iv) in excess of that required to maintain the minimum ratio established under RCW 28A.150.260(2)(b) to employ additional basic education certificated instructional staff or classified instructional assistants in grades 5-6.

(3) Allocations for classified salaries for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 school years shall be calculated using formula-generated classified staff units determined as follows:
(a) For enrollments generating certificated staff unit allocations under subsection (2)(d) through (h) of this section, one classified staff unit for each three certificated staff units allocated under such subsections;
(b) For all other enrollment in grades K-12, including vocational full-time equivalent enrollments, one classified staff unit for each sixty average annual full-time equivalent students; and
(c) For each nonhigh school district with an enrollment of more than fifty annual average full-time equivalent students and less than one hundred eighty students, an additional one-half of a classified staff unit.
(4) Fringe benefit allocations shall be calculated at a rate of ((10.90)) 11.21 percent in the 2005-06 school year and ((11.90)) 11.73 percent in the 2006-07 school year for certificated salary allocations provided under subsection (2) of this section, and a rate of ((14.57)) 14.07 percent in the 2005-06 school year and ((15.82)) 15.08 percent in the 2006-07 school year for classified salary allocations provided under subsection (3) of this section.
(5) Insurance benefit allocations shall be calculated at the maintenance rate specified in section 504(2) of this act, based on the number of benefit units determined as follows:
(a) The number of certificated staff units determined in subsection (2) of this section; and
(b) The number of classified staff units determined in subsection (3) of this section multiplied by 1.152. This factor is intended to adjust allocations so that, for the purposes of distributing insurance benefits, full-time equivalent classified employees may be calculated on the basis of 1440 hours of work per year, with no individual employee counted as more than one full-time equivalent.
(6)(a) For nonemployee-related costs associated with each certificated staff unit allocated under subsection (2)(a), (b), and (d) through (h) of this section, there shall be provided a maximum of $9,112 per certificated staff unit in the 2005-06 school year and a maximum of (($9,285)) $9,476 per certificated staff unit in the 2006-07 school year.
(b) For nonemployee-related costs associated with each vocational certificated staff unit allocated under subsection (2)(c)(i)(A) of this section, there shall be provided a maximum of $22,377 per certificated staff unit in the 2005-06 school year and a maximum of (($22,802)) $23,272 per certificated staff unit in the 2006-07 school year.
(c) For nonemployee-related costs associated with each vocational certificated staff unit allocated under subsection (2)(c)(i)(B) of this section, there shall be provided a maximum of $17,362 per certificated staff unit in the 2005-06 school year and a maximum of (($17,692)) $18,056 per certificated staff unit in the 2006-07 school year.
(7) Allocations for substitute costs for classroom teachers shall be distributed at a maintenance rate of $531.09 for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 school years per allocated classroom teachers exclusive of salary increase amounts provided in section 504 of this act. Solely for the purposes of this subsection, allocated classroom teachers shall be equal to the number of certificated instructional staff units allocated under subsection (2) of this section, multiplied by the ratio between the number of actual basic education certificated teachers and the number of actual basic education certificated instructional staff reported statewide for the prior school year.
(8) Any school district board of directors may petition the superintendent of public instruction by submission of a resolution adopted in a public meeting to reduce or delay any portion of its basic education allocation for any school year. The superintendent of public instruction shall approve such reduction or delay if it does not impair the district's financial condition. Any delay shall not be for more than two school years. Any reduction or delay shall have no impact on levy authority pursuant to RCW 84.52.0531 and local effort assistance pursuant to chapter 28A.500 RCW.

(d) A maximum of $485,000 each fiscal year may be expended for programs providing skills training for secondary students who are enrolled in extended day school-to-work programs, as approved by the superintendent of public instruction. The funds shall be allocated at a rate not to exceed $500 per full-time equivalent student enrolled in those programs; and
(e) $394,000 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2006 and (($787,000)) $1,647,200 of the general fund--state appropriation for fiscal year 2007 are provided solely for incentive grants to encourage school districts to increase enrollment in vocational skills centers. Up to $500 for each full-time equivalent student may be proportionally distributed to a school district or school districts increasing skills centers enrollment above the levels in the 2004-05 school year. The office of the superintendent of public instruction shall develop criteria for awarding incentive grants pursuant to this subsection. ((The total amount allocated pursuant to this subsection shall be limited to $1,181,000 for the 2005-07 biennium.))

(11) If two or more school districts consolidate and each district was receiving additional basic education formula staff units pursuant to subsection (2)(b) through (h) of this section, the following shall apply:
(a) For three school years following consolidation, the number of basic education formula staff units shall not be less than the number of basic education formula staff units received by the districts in the school year prior to the consolidation; and
(b) For the fourth through eighth school years following consolidation, the difference between the basic education formula staff units received by the districts for the school year prior to consolidation and the basic education formula staff units after consolidation pursuant to subsection (2)(a) through (h) of this section shall be reduced in increments of twenty percent per year.

(2) A maximum of $796,000 of this fiscal year 2006 appropriation and a maximum of (($812,000)) $828,000 of the fiscal year 2007 appropriation may be expended for regional transportation coordinators and related activities. The transportation coordinators shall ensure that data submitted by school districts for state transportation funding shall, to the greatest extent practical, reflect the actual transportation activity of each district.
(3) $5,000 of the fiscal year 2006 appropriation and $5,000 of the fiscal year 2007 appropriation are provided solely for the transportation of students enrolled in "choice" programs. Transportation shall be limited to low-income students who are transferring to "choice" programs solely for educational reasons.
(4) Allocations for transportation of students shall be based on reimbursement rates of (($41.51)) $42.52 per weighted mile in the 2005-06 school year and (($42.01)) $42.11 per weighted mile in the 2006-07 school year exclusive of salary and benefit adjustments provided in section 504 of this act. Included in the 2005-06 school year rate is a one-time increase of $1.12 to offset extraordinary increases in the price of diesel fuel. Allocations for transportation of students transported more than one radius mile shall be based on weighted miles as determined by superintendent of public instruction multiplied by the per mile reimbursement rates for the school year pursuant to the formulas adopted by the superintendent of public instruction.

In the final year on the depreciation schedule, the depreciation payment shall be based on the current state price. The superintendent may include a weighting or other adjustment factor in the averaging formula to ease the transition from the current-price depreciation system to the average depreciation system. Prior to making any depreciation payment in the 2005-06 school year, the superintendent shall notify the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of the legislature of the specific depreciation formula to be used. The replacement cost shall be based on the lowest bid in the appropriate bus category for that school year. A maximum of $50,000 of the fiscal year 2006 appropriation may be expended for software programming costs associated with the implementation of this subsection.

$1,382,842,000
The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Funding for special education programs is provided on an excess cost basis, pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure that special education students as a class receive their full share of the general apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act. To the extent a school district cannot provide an appropriate education for special education students under chapter 28A.155 RCW through the general apportionment allocation, it shall provide services through the special education excess cost allocation funded in this section.
(2)(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall use the excess cost methodology developed and implemented for the 2001-02 school year using the S-275 personnel reporting system and all related accounting requirements to ensure that:
(i) Special education students are basic education students first;
(ii) As a class, special education students are entitled to the full basic education allocation; and
(iii) Special education students are basic education students for the entire school day.
(b) The S-275 and accounting changes in effect since the 2001-02 school year shall supercede any prior excess cost methodologies and shall be required of all school districts.
(3) Each fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.
(4) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state and federal funds to school districts based on two categories: The optional birth through age two program for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and the mandatory special education program for special education eligible students ages three to twenty-one. A "special education eligible student" means a student receiving specially designed instruction in accordance with a properly formulated individualized education program.
(5)(a) For the 2005-06 and 2006-07 school years, the superintendent shall make allocations to each district based on the sum of:
(i) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and
(ii) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(b) For purposes of this subsection, "average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 and shall not include enhancements, secondary vocational education, or small schools.
(6) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
(a) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).
(b) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment.
Each district's general fund--state funded special education enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent or 12.7 percent.
(7) At the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be calculated in accordance with subsection (6)(b) of this section, and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units.
(8) To the extent necessary, $18,940,000 of the general fund--state appropriation and (($28,698,000)) $29,081,000 of the general fund--federal appropriation are provided for safety net awards for districts with demonstrated needs for special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (5) of this section. If safety net awards exceed the amount appropriated in this subsection (8), the superintendent shall expend all available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need. Safety net funds shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) The committee shall consider unmet needs for districts that can convincingly demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need, the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(b) The committee shall then consider the extraordinary high cost needs of one or more individual special education students. Differences in costs attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(c) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.
(d) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with chapter 318, Laws of 1999.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The amounts appropriated in this section are provided solely for remediation for students who have not met standard in one or more content areas of the WASL in the spring of their tenth grade year and on each retake thereafter. The funds may be used for extended learning activities, including summer school, before and after school, Saturday classes, skill seminars, assessment preparation, and in-school or out-of-school tutoring. Extended learning activities may occur on the school campus, via the internet, or at other locations and times that meet student needs. Funds allocated under this section shall not be considered basic education funding. Amounts allocated under this section shall fund new extended learning opportunities, and shall not supplant funding for existing programs and services.
(2) School district allocations for promoting academic success programs shall be calculated as follows:
(a) A portion of the district's student units shall be the number of content area assessments (reading, writing, and mathematics) on which students were more than one standard error of measurement from meeting standard on the Washington assessment of student learning for the current class of eleventh grade students.
(b) The other portion of the district's student units shall be the number of content area assessments (reading, writing, and mathematics) on which students were less than one standard error of measurement from meeting standard but did not meet standard on the Washington assessment of student learning for the current class of eleventh grade students.

Ninety-four hours of certificated instructional staff units are allocated per 13.0 student units as calculated under (a) of this subsection and thirty-four hours of certificated instructional staff units are allocated per 13.0 student units as calculated under (b) of this subsection. Allocations for salaries and benefits for the staff units calculated under this subsection shall be calculated in the same manner as provided under section 503 of this act. Salary and benefit increase funding for staff units generated under this section is included in section 504 of this act.
(d) The legislature recognizes that some students in the class of 2007 may wish to retake the WASL even though it is not a graduation requirement. Accordingly, funding in this section provides certificated instructional staff units as described in (c) of this subsection for all students in the class of 2007 who register to retake the WASL and want remedial assistance.
(e) The legislature recognizes that professional development and planning for teachers is an important component of high quality extended learning activities. Accordingly, a one-time funding amount equal to 20 hours of certificated instructional staff units per 13.0 student units, as calculated in (a) and (b) of this subsection, is provided in this section to insure that extended learning activities are of high quality and aligned to the state's essential academic learning requirements.

(5) School districts may carry over from one year to the next up to 20 percent of funds allocated under this program; however, carryover funds shall be expended for promoting academic success programs, and may be used to provide extended learning programs for students beyond their eleventh grade year who want continued remedial assistance to pass the WASL.

By December 15th of each year of the 2005-07 fiscal biennium, the university shall report to the office of financial management and the legislative fiscal committees the number of new student FTEs by campus enrolled with the funding provided in this subsection.
(2) The appropriations for higher education employee compensation increases provided or referenced in this section and described in sections 949 through 980 of this act are estimated to increase the total per student funding during the 2005-2007 biennium. This increase in total per student funding is in addition to the tuition revenues that will be generated and retained by the university as a result of the tuition increases that are authorized in section 601 of this act. Given these increases in core funding, Western Washington University shall, by June 30, 2007, show demonstrable progress toward achieving the following six-year programmatic goals:

(b) Preserve access for low-income students as measured by the percentage of total degrees awarded to Pell Grant recipients;
(c) Improve freshman retention rates;
(d) Improve and sustain the quality of its degree programs as measured by the number of programs that receive national accreditation; and
(e) Improve its ability to prepare students for the workforce as measured by the job placement or graduate school acceptance rates among graduates.
Specific six-year targets for the goals stated in this subsection shall be established by the university, the office of financial management, and the higher education coordinating board and shall be determined based on the per student funding level assumed in this act.

Therefore, the management and leadership responsibility for consortium operations are assigned to Everett community college.

The legislature finds that economic development, especially in emerging technologies, is critical to Spokane and Eastern Washington. The principal goal of the state's investment in the Spokane intercollegiate research and technology institute (SIRTI) is to bridge the gap between academic discovery and economic development, thereby leveraging the state's investment in research. However, it is essential to find appropriate ways to mark the success of these efforts. By September 15, 2005, SIRTI shall develop a plan for review by the house of representatives higher education committee and the senate labor, commerce, research and development committee, describing the agency's strategy and budget for commercial application of academic research. The plan shall include actions to be taken to select, develop, commercialize, and graduate clients. The plan shall also detail how to measure significant impacts to the overall economic climate of the Spokane region, including job creation and wages, that are attributable to SIRTI.

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 28A.655 RCW to read as follows:
(1) The legislature has made a commitment to rigorous academic standards for receipt of a high school diploma. The primary way that students will demonstrate that they meet the standards in reading, writing, mathematics, and science is through the Washington assessment of student learning. Only objective assessments that are comparable in rigor to the state assessment are authorized as an alternative assessment. Before seeking an alternative assessment, the legislature expects students to make a genuine effort to meet state standards, through retaking the Washington assessment of student learning; regular and consistent attendance at school; and participation in extended learning and other assistance programs.
(2) Under RCW 28A.655.061, beginning in the 2006-07 school year, the superintendent of public instruction shall implement three objective alternative assessment methods as provided in this section for students to demonstrate achievement of the state standards in content areas in which the student has not yet met the standard on the high school Washington assessment of student learning. A student may access an alternative if the student meets applicable eligibility criteria in RCW 28A.655.061 and other eligibility criteria established by the superintendent of public instruction, including but not limited to a ninety-five percent minimum attendance criterion and required participation in the remediation or supplemental instruction contained in the student learning plan developed under RCW 28A.655.061. A school district may waive the attendance and remediation requirement for special, unavoidable circumstances.
(3) For the purposes of this section, "applicant" means a student seeking to use one of the alternative assessment methods in this section.
(4) The primary alternative assessment method shall be a combination of the applicant's grades in applicable courses and the applicant's highest score on the high school Washington assessment of student learning, as provided in this subsection.
(a) Using guidelines prepared by the superintendent of public instruction, a school district shall identify the group of students in the same school as the applicant who took the same high school courses as the applicant in the applicable content area. From the group of students identified in this manner, the district shall select the comparison cohort that shall be those students who met or slightly exceeded the state standard on the Washington assessment of student learning.
(b) The district shall compare the applicant's grades in high school courses in the applicable content area to the grades of students in the comparison cohort for the same high school courses. If the applicant's grades are above the median grades of the comparison cohort, the applicant shall be deemed to have met the state standard on the alternative assessment.
(c) An applicant may not use the alternative assessment under this subsection (4) if there are fewer than six students in the comparison cohort.
(5) The superintendent of public instruction shall also develop an alternative assessment method that shall be an evaluation of a collection of work samples prepared and submitted by the applicant, as provided in this subsection and, for career and technical applicants, the additional requirements of subsection (6) of this section. The collection of work samples may be implemented as an alternative assessment if there are fewer than six students in the applicant's comparison cohort under subsection (4) of this section or if the applicant is enrolled in a career and technical program approved under section 2 of this act. The collection of work samples may be implemented as an alternative assessment for other applicants only if formally approved by the legislature through the omnibus appropriations act, statute, or concurrent resolution.
(a) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop guidelines for the types and number of work samples in each content area that may be submitted as a collection of evidence that the applicant has met the state standard in that content area. Work samples may be collected from academic, career and technical, or remedial courses and may include performance tasks as well as written products.
(b) The superintendent shall develop protocols for submission of the collection of work samples that include affidavits from the applicant's teachers and school district that the samples are the work of the applicant and a requirement that a portion of the samples be prepared under the direct supervision of a classroom teacher.
(c) The superintendent shall develop uniform scoring criteria for evaluating the collection of work samples. Collections shall be scored at the state level or regionally by a panel of educators selected and trained by the superintendent to ensure objectivity, reliability, and rigor in the evaluation. An educator may not score work samples submitted by applicants from the educator's school district. If the panel awards an applicant's collection of work samples the minimum required score, the applicant shall be deemed to have met the state standard on the alternative assessment.
(6)(a) For students enrolled in a career and technical education program approved under section 2 of this act, the superintendent of public instruction shall develop guidelines for a collection of work samples that evidences that the collection:
(i) Is relevant to the student's particular career and technical program;
(ii) Focuses on the application of academic knowledge and skills within the program;
(iii) Includes completed activities or projects where demonstration of academic knowledge is inferred; and
(iv) Is related to the essential academic learning requirements and state standards that students must meet to earn a certificate of academic achievement or certificate of individual achievement, but also represents the knowledge and skills that successful individuals in the career and technical field of the approved program are expected to possess.
(b) To meet the state standard on the alternative assessment under this subsection (6), an applicant must also attain the state or nationally recognized certificate or credential associated with the approved career and technical program.
(c) The superintendent shall consult with community and technical colleges, employers, the work force training and education coordinating board, apprenticeship programs, and other regional and national experts in career and technical education to create an appropriate collection of work samples and other evidence of a career and technical student's knowledge and skills on the state academic standards.
(7) The superintendent of public instruction shall study the feasibility of using existing mathematics assessments in languages other than English as an additional alternative assessment option. The study shall include an estimation of the cost of translating the tenth grade mathematics assessment into other languages and scoring the assessments should they be implemented.
(8) The superintendent of public instruction shall implement:
(a) By June 1, 2006, a process for students to appeal the score they received on the high school assessments; and
(b) By January 1, 2007, guidelines and appeal processes for waiving specific requirements in RCW 28A.655.061 pertaining to the certificate of academic achievement and to the certificate of individual achievement for students who: (i) Transfer to a Washington public school in their junior or senior year with the intent of obtaining a public high school diploma, or (ii) have special, unavoidable circumstances.
(9) The superintendent of public instruction may adopt rules to implement this section.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 28C.04 RCW to read as follows:
The superintendent of public instruction shall develop a list of approved career and technical education programs that qualify for the objective alternative assessment for career and technical students developed under section 1 of this act. Programs on the list must meet the following minimum criteria:
(1) Lead to a certificate or credential that is state or nationally recognized by trades, industries, or other professional associations as necessary for employment or advancement in that field;
(2) Require a sequenced progression of multiple courses, both exploratory and preparatory, that are vocationally intensive and rigorous; and
(3) Have a high potential for providing the program completer with gainful employment or entry into a postsecondary work force training program.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. By September 2006, the superintendent of public instruction shall report the following, in detail, to the education committees of the legislature:
(1) Results of the pilot testing of the alternative assessments authorized under section 1 of this act;
(2) The proposed guidelines, protocols, and procedures to be used by the superintendent in implementing the alternative assessments, particularly the collection of evidence;
(3) A description of the training to be provided for school districts, educators serving on scoring panels, and teachers assisting students with collections of evidence;
(4) Preliminary results of the feasibility study in section 1(7) of this act; and
(5) Updated estimates of the number of students likely to be eligible or apply for either alternative assessment method.
Sec. 4. RCW 28A.655.061 and 2004 c 19 s 101 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) The high school assessment system shall include but need not be limited to the Washington assessment of student learning, opportunities for a student to retake the content areas of the assessment in which the student was not successful, and if approved by the legislature pursuant to subsection (((11))) (10) of this section, one or more objective alternative assessments for a student to demonstrate achievement of state academic standards. The objective alternative assessments for each content area shall be comparable in rigor to the skills and knowledge that the student must demonstrate on the Washington assessment of student learning for each content area.
(2) Subject to the conditions in this section, a certificate of academic achievement shall be obtained by most students at about the age of sixteen, and is evidence that the students have successfully met the state standard in the content areas included in the certificate. With the exception of students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045, acquisition of the certificate is required for graduation from a public high school but is not the only requirement for graduation.
(3) Beginning with the graduating class of 2008, with the exception of students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045, a student who meets the state standards on the reading, writing, and mathematics content areas of the high school Washington assessment of student learning shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. If a student does not successfully meet the state standards in one or more content areas required for the certificate of academic achievement, then the student may retake the assessment in the content area up to four times at no cost to the student. If the student successfully meets the state standards on a retake of the assessment then the student shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. Once objective alternative assessments are authorized pursuant to subsection (((11))) (10) of this section, a student may use the objective alternative assessments to demonstrate that the student successfully meets the state standards for that content area if the student has retaken the Washington assessment of student learning at least once. If the student successfully meets the state standards on the objective alternative assessments then the student shall earn a certificate of academic achievement. ((The student's transcript shall note whether the certificate of academic achievement was acquired by means of the Washington assessment of student learning or by an alternative assessment.))
(4) Beginning with the graduating class of 2010, a student must meet the state standards in science in addition to the other content areas required under subsection (3) of this section on the Washington assessment of student learning or the objective alternative assessments in order to earn a certificate of academic achievement.
(5) The state board of education may not require the acquisition of the certificate of academic achievement for students in home-based instruction under chapter 28A.200 RCW, for students enrolled in private schools under chapter 28A.195 RCW, or for students satisfying the provisions of RCW 28A.155.045.

ESSB 6501 Prime Sponsor, Senate Committee On Water, Energy & Environment: Creating the Washington bioenergy assistance program. Reported by Committee on Technology, Energy & Communications
MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that:
(1) Washington's dependence on energy supplied from outside the state and volatile energy markets makes our economy and citizens vulnerable to unpredictable and high energy prices;
(2) Washington's dependence on petroleum-based fuels increases energy costs for citizens and businesses;
(3) Experts tell us that the global oil shortage will only worsen, making the three dollars per gallon gasoline of the summer of 2005 seem affordable;
(4) Each year, citizens and businesses in Washington state spend nine billion dollars on gasoline and diesel, with those funds drained from the state economy;
(5) Diesel soot from diesel engines ranks as the highest toxic air pollutant in Washington, leading to hundreds of premature deaths and increasing rates of asthma and other lung-related diseases;
(6) The use of biodiesel results in significantly less air pollution than traditional diesel fuels and can help our citizens and businesses conserve energy;
(7) Improper disposal and treatment of organic waste from farms and livestock operations can have a significant negative impact on water quality;
(8) Washington has abundant supplies of organic wastes from farms that can be used for energy production and abundant farmland where crops could be grown to supplement or supplant petroleum-based fuels;
(9) Instead of leaving our economy at the mercy of global events, and the policies of foreign nations, Washington state should adopt a policy of energy independence;
(10) The energy freedom program is meant to lead Washington state towards energy independence;
(11) Producing more energy here means cleaner, renewable energy that includes, but is not limited to, biofuels, solar power, and wind power;
(12) The biofuels industry is a new and developing industry now limited by the availability of capital for construction of facilities for converting farm and forest products into energy and fuels; and
(13) For biofuels to be economically viable in Washington, it will be necessary to grow dedicated crops, construct crushers near farms, and build refineries to create fuel.
Therefore, the legislature finds it is in the public interest to reduce Washington's dependence on imported oil, expand renewable fuel production and use in Washington, conserve energy, improve use of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures, and promote sustainable rural economic development by creating new jobs and stimulating business and economic activity in local communities across Washington.
To accomplish this, the energy freedom program is established to stimulate strategic investment in facilities, infrastructure, technologies, and research and development that will advance Washington's move toward energy independence.

MAJORITY recommendation: Do pass as amended.
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. In 1993 the Washington legislature laid out a vision of a revitalized school system in Washington state. Envisioned was a comprehensive assessment system committed to high academic standards for all of its students. The Washington assessment of student learning was created as a tool to measure whether students were reaching the high academic standards. The legislature continues to support this assessment as a part of a comprehensive assessment system. Recently some alternative assessments have been developed. The legislature finds that there is interest in exploring why some students have not been able to meet the state standards and whether additional alternative methods, options, procedures, or performance measures could be used to augment the current system.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. (1) The Washington state institute for public policy shall conduct a study to explore options to augment the current system of assessments to provide additional opportunities for students to demonstrate that they have met the state learning standards. The study is limited to:
(a) A review and statistical analysis of Washington assessment of student learning data to increase understanding of the students who did not meet the standard in one or more areas of assessment, identify the characteristics of those students, and identify possible barriers to student success or possible causes of the lack of success;
(b) A review and identification of additional alternative assessment options that could be used to augment the current assessment system. In identifying the alternative assessment options, the institute shall include a review of alternative assessments used in other states as well as those that have been developed and those that have been proposed in Washington. The institute shall examine the use of national tests as well as career skill certification exams in their review of possible alternative assessment options. For each of the identified alternative assessment options, the study shall at a minimum include:
(i) An estimation of the costs for implementation;
(ii) A review of the cultural appropriateness;
(iii) Whether the alternative assessment reliably measures a student's ability to meet state learning standards in one or more of the required content areas;
(iv) Whether the alternative assessment is in compliance with RCW 28A.655.061(1); and
(v) Any challenges to implementation for each of the identified alternative assessment options, including any legislative action necessary for implementation;
(c) A review and identification of additional alternative methods, procedures, or combinations of performance measures, including those proposed in Washington, to assess whether students have met the state learning standards. For each of the identified alternative methods, procedures, or performance measures, the study shall at a minimum include:
(i) An estimation of the costs for implementation;
(ii) A review of the cultural appropriateness;
(iii) Whether the method, procedure, or performance measure reliably measures a student's ability to meet state learning standards in one or more of the required content areas;
(iv) Whether the method, procedure, or performance measure is in compliance with RCW 28A.655.061(1);
(v) Any challenges to implementation for each of the identified methods, procedures, or performance measures, including any legislative action necessary for implementation; and
(vi) Whether the procedures or methods could be standardized across the state.
(2) The Washington state institute for public policy shall provide an interim report to the legislature by December 1, 2006, and a final report by December 1, 2007. The interim report shall include a preliminary statistical analysis of the information required under subsection (1)(a) of this section and shall include recommendations on at least two alternative assessment options, alternative methods, procedures, or performance measures that were reviewed under subsection (1)(b) and (c) of this section. The final study shall include suggestions for any follow-up studies that the legislature could undertake to continue to build on the information obtained in this study.
(3) The institute shall consult, at a minimum, with nationally recognized experts on assessments including representatives from nationally recognized centers for multicultural education, representatives of the office of the superintendent of public instruction, educators, counselors, parents, the business community, classified employees, career and technical organizations, representatives of federally recognized Washington tribes, representatives of cultural, linguistic, and racial minority groups, and the community of persons with disabilities in developing the initial list of possible alternative assessment options, alternative assessment methods, procedures, or performance measures to be reviewed under subsection (1)(b) and (c) of this section.
(4) The office of the superintendent of public instruction and school districts shall provide the institute with access to all necessary data to conduct the studies in this act.
