December meeting this week

On December 1, the Board will come together for a half-day virtual meeting from 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. The focus of the agenda will be about reports that the Board plans to submit to the legislature on the education system's health, and graduation requirements alignment. We will post the agenda (with a link to TVW's live stream, and the Zoom webinar) one week in advance of the meeting. Note: public comment will be held at 1:45 p.m. If you would like to give live testimony, please enter the Zoom and sign-in by placing your name in chat prior to comment time. Find the November recap and links to TVW's video on SBE's meetings site.

ICYMI: Board adopts legislative platform

At the November 2022 meeting, the Board adopted its 2023 legislative platform (download the PDF). It includes descriptions of requests and focuses on three priorities: 

• Support the whole child to create the conditions needed for learning
• Enhance relevance and personalization of the student learning experience
• Expand and strengthen opportunities for powerful learning

The Board's requests to the legislature reflect these focus priorities. This session, the Board may sign in "pro" and testify on behalf of bills that promote these focus priorities. We will keep our web page up-to-date as session progresses: sbe.wa.gov/waleg.
