Washington State Charter School Update
It's March 3rd and there is now just one more week until the end of the session on March 10th. A new bill - 6670 - a so-called "title-only" bill that is a placeholder (along with HB 3000, also a placeholder) for something to come. Here's 6670 - in its entirety - Sec. 1. This act may be known and cited as the public schools that are not common schools act. This Hemingway-length legislation is brought to us by the usual suspects in the form of Senators Fain, Mullet, Litzow and Hobbs. A little backstory on what this is and how it is happening comes to us via the Tri-City Herald which seems to take a dim view of this type of legislation (bold mine).
