The bill amends RCW 28B.77.310 to make administrative changes to the workforce education investment accountability and oversight board. It establishes the board with 18 members, including legislative members and various representatives from businesses, labor organizations, higher education institutions, and students. The terms for board members are set at three years, except for student members who serve one-year terms. The bill also specifies that the board will have two co-chairs, one from the legislature and one representing businesses, with co-chairs serving a two-year term and elected biennially. Additionally, the board is required to meet at least four times a year.

Key changes include the replacement of the "workforce training and education coordinating board" with the "student achievement council" in the context of data consultation for evaluating workforce education investments. The deadline for the board to report its recommendations to the legislature has been changed from August 1st to December 31st of each year. These amendments aim to enhance the board's accountability and effectiveness in increasing student success and career readiness through informed recommendations on workforce education funding priorities.
