The bill proposes the repeal of the interstate teacher mobility compact and makes amendments to RCW 28A.405.220 regarding the nonrenewal of employment contracts for provisional employees in school districts. Specifically, it removes the provision that prevents the nonrenewal of contracts for provisional employees licensed under the interstate teacher mobility compact if they have not completed certain required courses. The bill clarifies the process for notifying provisional employees about nonrenewal decisions and establishes a framework for them to request reconsideration of such decisions.

Additionally, the bill repeals multiple sections of RCW 28A.420, which pertain to the purpose, definitions, licensure, teacher qualifications, and other aspects of the interstate teacher mobility compact. This comprehensive repeal indicates a significant shift in the state's approach to teacher licensure and mobility, effectively eliminating the previous framework that facilitated the movement of teachers across state lines under the compact.
