Bill > HB2636

This bill establishes a Public Education Review Steering Committee, composed of 15 members including representatives from state agencies, legislative leadership, school principals, directors, educators, business professionals, and administrators, to conduct independent, balanced, and objective reviews of Washington's K-12 public education system's performance, operations, and funding. The committee will recommend specific policy requirements and funding provisions for examination by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC), which will then evaluate whether these elements achieve their intended outcomes, improve student success, are cost-effective, remain relevant, and should be maintained, modified, or repealed. The findings and reports from these reviews will inform future legislative decisions to ensure better alignment between policy, performance, and funding in the state's public education system.
