AN ACT Relating to maintaining an online record of special 2 education complaint decisions; and amending RCW 28A.155.090. 3

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require the superintendent of public instruction to maintain an online record of all final decisions made in response to special education community complaints, making these decisions publicly accessible and free of charge for 20 years after they are finalized, and if historical records are incomplete, to provide online access for the longest period available. This change aims to increase transparency and accessibility regarding special education complaint resolutions, which are procedures designed to ensure the rights and protections for children with disabilities.
