The bill amends RCW 28A.155.090 to enhance the responsibilities of the superintendent of public instruction regarding the education of children with disabilities. A significant addition is the requirement for the superintendent to maintain an online record of all final decisions issued in response to special education community complaints in the prior 20 years. This aims to improve transparency and accessibility of information related to special education complaints. Additionally, the bill renumbers the existing provisions, with the new online record requirement becoming (8) and the previous provision on rule promulgation now being (9). The overall goal of these amendments is to ensure that children with disabilities receive appropriate educational services and protections, while also providing a clear record of complaint resolutions to the public.
