Quick facts about the Washington State ESEA waiver

What is the ESEA waiver? The U.S. Department of Education has offered each State the opportunity to request flexibility in order to better focus on improving student learning and increasing the quality of instruction. This opportunity will provide flexibility regarding specific requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in exchange for rigorous and comprehensive State-developed plans designed to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity, and improve the quality of instruction.

In order to qualify for the waiver, Washington had to meet four principles

Principle 1: College- and Career-Ready Expectations for All Students Met primarily through adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language arts and mathematics. Additionally, Washington State’s role as a lead state with SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) satisfied the requirement to administer high- quality assessments to all students by Principle 2: State-Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability, and Support Met through the construction of a new state accountability system

Principle 3: Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership Met through the teacher/principal evaluation components of E2SSB 6696 and ESSB Principle 4: Reducing Duplication and Unnecessary Burden on Districts by the State This is an ongoing task in all states

Why are we concerned? How to track special education growth in the achievement index was described as a quandary in a State Board of Education meeting. In the 4 year graduation rate for special education was 57.6% The 5 year graduation rate was 62.7%

What do we do now? The Washington State PTA has raised concerns with the U.S. Department of Education that the waiver may not adequately address special education students. Special Education PTAs, special education organizations and parents within Washington need to give feedback to the Washington State Board of Education, OSPI and the U.S. Department of Education
