AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure that all K-12 students in Washington have access to high-quality school library information and technology programs staffed by qualified teacher-librarians. It requires school districts to adopt policies and procedures to provide these programs, which are important for improving student outcomes, closing literacy gaps, and teaching critical digital literacy skills. The bill also allows second-class school districts to partner with external entities to staff their programs if they cannot find a certified teacher-librarian. The superintendent of public instruction will provide support to districts in implementing these requirements.
