Bill > SB6264

This bill aims to support the implementation of competency-based education in Washington state. It defines "competencies" and "competency-based education," and requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to adopt rules to authorize full-time enrollment funding for students enrolled in competency-based education programs. The bill also directs the State Board of Education (SBE) to develop a process to identify and designate schools and districts implementing competency-based education, and OSPI to develop competencies aligned with state learning standards. Additionally, the bill requires the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association to review its rules to ensure continued equitable access to interscholastic activities for students participating in competency-based education. Finally, it amends the law on standardized high school transcripts to include a competency-based education transcript format.
