What's Next for SB 6696?
Washington's Race to the Top Legislation Moves
Toward Implementation
In March 2010, Governor Gregoire signed Washington's Race to the Top reform legislation, SB 6696, which included key provisions to accelerate student learning, improve teacher and principal performance, and ensure students receive a college-ready education through the development of a robust accountability system and the adoption of common core standards.
But now that this legislation has passed, when will these provisions be fully implemented? How will these reforms be implemented? And, who will be impacted throughout the process? These are important questions. SB 6696 will not only make the state eligible for federal grants in the short term, but will set out an important timeline for key reforms over the next few years.
A timeline developed by Partnership for Learning lays out the implementation of key elements of SB 6696. By monitoring the different phases and pieces of this bill closely, state leaders can help to ensure that these reforms will truly accelerate student performance.
