YOUTH IN ACTION Check out some of the many ways young people across the state are engaging in education advocacy and making their voices heard. Youth-Authored Blog Post and Policy on Inclusive Education The Legislative Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) worked hard to put forth a bill this session that focuses on inclusive curriculum in schools. They published blogs like this one to promote their ideas and garner support. Although their bill, SB 5441, did not advance, its elements of it were included in a different bill, SB 5462, that is moving through the legislative process. Click here to read their blog post about this topic. Youth Self-Advocates Participate in Advocacy Week Panel for Special Education This past January, young people from across the state shared their experiences with the special education system in Washington and their ideas for creating stronger, more inclusive school environments.

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 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.
