Sens. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, and Joseph Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, introduced a bill yesterday (April 5) that would remove the 2018 end dates for implementation of school education and finance reform (ESHB 2261, 2009) and the funding plan (SHB 2776, 2010). The bill is scheduled for a public hearing Wednesday, April 6 at 12:30 p.m.
As written, SB 5919 would remove references to the legislature’s intention to fully implement the redefined basic education programs and funding by 2018, and replace it with a phase-in plan and implementation schedule adopted by the legislature.
