On February 27th, OSPI will announce the 156 districts and charter, tribal and technical high schools who have joined the Fall 2025 Launch Cohort, committing to offer the SchooLinks HSBP platform to at least some of their 7th-12th grade students during the 2025-26 school year. Those districts received a GovDelivery message from OSPI with information outlining the initial steps in the pre-implementation process on Monday, February 25th. OSPI is thrilled to partner with the Washington SchooLinks team to support this transformative change in how we can support our students' career and college exploration and preparation for a meaningful first step after high school graduation!
