High School Graduation Requirements Emergency Waiver Program: Graduation Class of 2021. Final Report to the Legislature
Parr, Andrew J.
Washington State Board of Education
Engrossed House Bill 1121, signed into law during the 2021 Legislative session and codified in RCW 28A.230.320, provides the State Board of Education (SBE) the authority to establish an emergency waiver program to allow school districts and local educational agencies (LEAs) to waive certain high school graduation requirements on an individual student basis after the district makes a good faith effort to help the student meet the requirements. RCW 28A.230.320 requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to provide SBE with certain data to complete a report for the Education Committees of the Legislature addressing two main topics. First, the SBE is to report on the total number of emergency waivers requested and issued, by school districts, including an indication of what requirement or requirements were waived. Second, SBE is to provide an analysis of any concerns regarding school district implementation, including any concerns related to school district demonstrations of good faith efforts identified by the SBE during its review of the data. This report is based on the final data files provided by the OSPI and the finalized data collection conducted by the SBE.
