HB 2117: State board of education

Reevaluating the duties of the state board of education.

Summary

  • Expresses intent to reevaluate the duties of the State Board of Education (SBE), through a process to be determined by chairs of the House and Representatives and Senate education committees, divesting the SBE of inappropriate policy authority that resides in the purview of the Legislature and transferring appropriate duties to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
  • Tasks the Superintendent of Public Instruction with providing recommended statutory and rule changes to the Legislature to implement the transfer of duties from the SBE to the OSPI.
