State takes charge of justice-involved schooling

The state education office (OSPI) must plan and set a timeline to take over by September 1, 2028. It consults groups who deliver and receive these services and reports progress each year starting December 15, 2023 through 2027. This planning duty ends June 30, 2028. Beginning September 1, 2028, OSPI is responsible for making sure basic education is delivered well to justice-involved students and for improving outcomes. OSPI adopts and updates rules to carry this out. Justice-involved students are generally under 21 and served in institutional education programs not run by DSHS or DOC.
