BILL · 2007–08 SESSION
HB 1109: Transfer students
Exempting transfer students from military families from the certificate of academic achievement.
Summary
- Finds that students who have been relocated across the country and perhaps across the world as a result of their families' service in the military face academic challenges with each relocation. Requiring students from military families who transfer in high school to pass the Washington assessment of student learning in order to receive a high school diploma poses an unfair burden on these students and their families.
