As yet another school year ends with blinding speed, work is heating up for team LEV. The new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), replacing No Child Left Behind, gives states more leeway in a wide range of areas. Our state is figuring out how to modify our accountability system and fully implement other parts of the law. If you’re curious how ESSA will work here in Washington, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is holding forums around the state. Get all the info here.
And speaking of the state Superintendent, watch for OSPI candidate forums from now until the November election. LEV is keeping track of upcoming forums here.
Looking ahead, we’re taking a hard look at how to best fund our state education system as the McCleary debate will be front and center in the next Legislative session. If you would like more info on what the McCleary Task Force is up to, check out our recent Lunchtime LEVinar on the topic here.
May you and your family enjoy a glorious summer.
Thank you, and thanks for all you do for kids.
