Proyecto de Ley 1207 de la Cámara Este proyecto de ley requeriría y financiaría un oficial de policía comisionado de tiempo completo (oficial de recursos escolares, o SRO) o un oficial de seguridad escolar en cada escuela en Washington. Visite la página de factura RESUMEN Todas las escuelas de Washington (desde jardín de infantes hasta el grado 12) deberán contratar a un oficial de seguridad escolar o un oficial de recursos escolares de tiempo completo y se les proporcionarán los fondos para hacerlo. PUNTOS A CONSIDERAR SOBRE ESTE PROYECTO DE LEY Financiar SRO a este nivel significaría que el estado de Washington proporciona fondos escolares para: Más de 4 veces más SRO que trabajadores sociales Más SRO que enfermeras escolares Más de 10 veces más SRO que psicólogos Más SRO que consejeros de escuela primaria La vigilancia en las escuelas se dirige de manera desproporcionada a los estudiantes de color y estudiantes con discapacidades. Los diferentes grupos de estudiantes son vigilados a tasas desproporcionadas, como los estudiantes de color que son arrestados o remitidos a la policía en la escuela a una tasa significativamente mayor que la de los estudiantes blancos. Además, los estudiantes con discapacidades son arrestados o referidos a las fuerzas del orden casi 3 veces más rápido que sus pares sin discapacidades.

Proyecto de Ley del Senado 5019 Este proyecto de ley garantizaría que los fondos destinados a contratar enfermeras, consejeros, trabajadores sociales y psicólogos en las escuelas no se puedan utilizar para contratar oficiales de recursos escolares (SRO) y otro personal de seguridad escolar. Visite la página de factura ANTECEDENTES Los legisladores aprobaron Proyecto de ley de la Cámara 1664 durante la sesión legislativa del estado de Washington del año pasado (2022) para ayudar a proporcionar recursos adicionales para apoyar el bienestar físico, social y emocional de los estudiantes. Proporcionó fondos adicionales para que los distritos escolares contrataran profesionales como enfermeras, consejeros, trabajadores sociales y psicólogos escolares. También creó una nueva categoría de personal denominada Personal de Apoyo Físico, Social y Emocional (PSES) que abarcaría puestos como estos. La legislación que requiere que todos los distritos reciban fondos de este proyecto de ley debe usarse para contratar personal que se ajuste a esta nueva categoría de personal. Como parte de esto, la Oficina del Superintendente de Instrucción Pública (OSPI) se encargó de desarrollar reglas sobre cómo los distritos pueden implementar la nueva legislación y especificar qué puestos de personal exactos pueden incluirse en la categoría de trabajo de PSES._d04a07d8-9cd1-3239- 9149-20813d6c673b_ Al desarrollar estas reglas, OSPI incluyó personal de seguridad escolar (también conocido como Oficiales de recursos escolares o SRO) en la categoría de personal de PSES. Esto significa que los distritos pueden optar por gastar estos nuevos fondos, que estaban destinados a abordar la salud mental de los estudiantes, en SRO. RESUMEN El Proyecto de Ley del Senado 5019 eliminaría la capacidad de los distritos de usar estos nuevos fondos del año pasado en seguridad escolar personal . La propuesta eliminaría el lenguaje del proyecto de ley que hizo que OSPI sintiera que el personal de seguridad escolar debería incluirse como un uso permitido de estos nuevos fondos durante el proceso de elaboración de reglas. Eliminar este texto del proyecto de ley probablemente eliminaría otros puestos de personal (más allá de los SRO) que actualmente están incluidos en la categoría de personal de PSES . Sin embargo, en este momento no se conoce la gama completa de puestos exactos que se incluirán en la categoría PSES. Corresponderá a OSPI determinar más específicamente qué personal está y no está incluido, en caso de que este proyecto de ley se convierta en ley. Este cambio no afectaría la capacidad de los distritos para usar estos fondos para contratar puestos como consejeros, enfermeras, trabajadores sociales o psicólogos. PUNTOS A CONSIDERAR SOBRE ESTE PROYECTO DE LEY Este proyecto de ley solo prohibiría a los distritos usar estos nuevos fondos (que tenían como objetivo ayudar a abordar la crisis de salud mental de los estudiantes) para contratar SRO y otro personal de seguridad escolar. No tendría ningún impacto en las fuentes de financiación existentes para las SRO ni impediría que los distritos utilicen otras fuentes de financiación para contratar personal de seguridad escolar.

Proyecto de Ley del Senado 5237 Este proyecto de ley crearía un proceso de quejas que los estudiantes, padres y miembros de la comunidad pueden usar cuando vean que un distrito no está siguiendo adecuadamente los derechos civiles estatales, las reglas de disciplina y otras leyes. Visite la página de factura RESUMEN Este proyecto de ley crea un proceso para que cualquier persona presente una queja cuando un distrito no está siguiendo las leyes estatales en las siguientes áreas: Derechos civiles, incluida la discriminación y el acoso sexual Acoso, intimidación o acoso Requisitos y políticas del plan de estudios relacionados con el cambio de materiales de instrucción Uso de restricción o aislamiento. Disciplina estudiantil Estas quejas pueden ser en respuesta a un incidente individual con una sola persona, o pueden registrarse como una "queja amplia", que se relacionaría con un grupo de estudiantes más amplio, o incluso con todos los estudiantes de un distrito._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Antes de presentar una queja individual, una persona primero debe agotar cualquier procedimiento de queja existente bajo la ley estatal. Una "queja general" podría ser sobre cómo ciertos grupos de estudiantes reciben un trato diferente a sus compañeros en función de su raza, género, orientación sexual, discapacidad, condición de ciudadano o inmigrante, etc. La Oficina del Superintendente de Instrucción Pública (OSPI) es responsable de estableciendo y administrando el proceso de investigación de quejas. Si OSPI encuentra incumplimiento de la ley estatal en un distrito, entonces el superintendente del distrito y la junta escolar deben desarrollar, adoptar y presentar un plan de cumplimiento colaborando con la comunidad escolar y OSPI. Antes de presentar este plan, la junta escolar debe realizar una audiencia pública al respecto y permitir comentarios públicos. Si se determina que este incumplimiento en un distrito es deliberado, entonces se deben realizar audiencias públicas continuas hasta que estén en cumplimiento, y OSPI puede imponer consecuencias a un distrito que incluyen: requerir que un distrito adopte o vuelva a adoptar ciertas políticas o incluso reteniendo la financiación de la educación básica. PUNTOS A CONSIDERAR SOBRE ESTE PROYECTO DE LEY La creación de la categoría de "queja general" puede ser un mecanismo valioso para que las personas llamen la atención sobre la falla del distrito en implementar equitativamente las leyes estatales para los estudiantes a los que sirven. Además, si se observan quejas amplias similares en varios distritos de Washington, se pueden resaltar fallas más amplias a nivel estatal para proteger y apoyar a todos los estudiantes bajo la ley estatal (especialmente estudiantes históricamente marginados como estudiantes con discapacidades, estudiantes de color, y más). OSPI está a cargo de la supervisión de todos los asuntos relacionados con la educación pública del estado de Washington. Hacer que OSPI sea el organismo que administra este proceso puede ser un conflicto de intereses incorporado. Las quejas generales en los distritos múltiples apuntan a fallas sistémicas de OSPI para garantizar que se respeten y protejan los derechos civiles y educativos de los estudiantes. Como organismo administrador, es poco probable que OSPI determine que estas quejas generales tienen mérito si las expone como responsables de algunas de estas fallas sistémicas.
