This bill establishes new provisions regarding the reprimands of professional educators in Washington State. It mandates the Washington professional educator standards board to adopt rules by December 1, 2025, for reviewing and vacating reprimands that pertain to behavior not involving students. Additionally, the rules will outline the process for individuals to submit petitions for vacating such reprimands.
Furthermore, the bill requires the office of the superintendent of public instruction to report to the legislature by July 1, 2027, on the number of petitions submitted and the number of reprimands vacated under the newly established rules. This reporting requirement will expire on August 1, 2027.
