AI Summary

This bill aims to support media literacy and digital citizenship in Washington state schools. It establishes a grant program through the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to help school districts develop curriculum units on these topics that can be integrated into social studies, English language arts, or health classes. The bill also requires grant recipients to evaluate the curriculum units and encourages them to work with teacher-librarians or library information technology programs. Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of media literacy professional learning communities to share best practices, and requires at least one grant to focus on "synthetic media" - manipulated digital content. Finally, the bill directs OSPI to convene two regional conferences to highlight the grant program's work and showcase best practices in media literacy and digital citizenship.
