OSPI Proposed Student Discipline Rules
OSPI has released proposed rules for revising Washington student discipline rules under Chapter 392-400 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). These proposed rules reflect significant feedback that OSPI sought from external and internal groups over the past several months, including from the Student Discipline Task Force.
The proposed rules are intended to improve the clarity and readability of the student discipline rules for both school districts and families. Several revisions clarify requirements in law that became effective in 2016 when the Legislature passed House Bill 1541. The revisions also increase opportunities for families to participate in the development of discipline policies and in resolving discipline-related issues.
To review the Proposed Student Discipline Rules and for more information please visit the Student Discipline webpage.
