参议院法案 5019 该法案将确保用于雇用学校护士、辅导员、社会工作者和心理学家的资金不能用于雇用学校资源官员 (SRO) 和其他学校安全人员。 访问账单页面 背景 立法者通过 众议院法案 1664 ​ 在去年的华盛顿州立法会议期间（2022 年）帮助提供额外的资源来支持学生的身体、社交和情感健康。它为学区提供额外资金，以聘请护士、辅导员、社会工作者和学校心理学家等专业人士。它还创建了一个新的工作人员类别，称为身体、社会和情感支持人员 (PSES)，其中包括此类职位。 立法要求所有从该法案中获得的资助区必须用于雇用适合这一新人员配置类别的员工。作为其中的一部分，公共教育总监办公室 (OSPI) 负责制定有关地区如何实施新立法的规则，并指定哪些确切的员工职位可以包含在 PSES 工作类别中。_d04a07d8-9cd1-3239- 9149-20813d6c673b_ 在制定这些规则时，OSPI 将学校安全人员（又名学校资源官员或 SRO）纳入 PSES 人员配置类别。这意味着学区可以选择将这些旨在解决学生心理健康问题的新资金用于 SRO。 概括 参议院第 5019 号法案将取消学区使用去年用于学校安全的新资金的能力 人员 . 该提案将删除使 OSPI 认为在规则制定过程中学校安保人员应被允许使用这些新资金的法案语言。 删除此法案语言可能会删除目前包含在 PSES 人员配置类别中的其他员工职位（SRO 之外） .但是，目前尚不清楚要包含在 PSES 类别中的所有确切位置。如果该法案成为法律，将由 OSPI 更具体地确定哪些员工包括在内，哪些不包括在内。这一变化不会影响学区使用这些资金聘请辅导员、护士、社会工作者或心理学家等职位的能力。 关于本法案的要点 该法案只会禁止学区使用这笔新资金（旨在帮助解决学生心理健康危机）来雇用 SRO 和其他学校保安人员。它不会对 SRO 的现有资金来源产生影响，也不会阻止学区使用其他资金来源来雇用学校保安人员。 如何参与 Steps to Get Started Learn where the bill is in the legislative process.

参议院法案 5237 该法案将创建一个投诉程序，当学生、家长和社区成员发现某个地区没有适当遵守州民权、纪律规则和其他法律时，他们可以使用该程序。 访问账单页面 概括 该法案为任何人在学区未遵守以下领域的州法律时提出投诉创建了一个流程： ​ ​ 公民权利，包括歧视和性骚扰​ ​ 骚扰、恐吓或欺凌 ​ 与教学材料变更相关的课程要求和政策 ​ 使用约束或隔离 ​ 学生纪律 这些投诉可以针对与一个人有关的个别事件，也可以注册为“广泛投诉”，这将涉及更广泛的学生群体，甚至是一个学区的所有学生。_cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ 在提出个人投诉之前，个人必须首先用尽州法律规定的任何现有投诉程序。 “广泛的投诉”可能是关于某些学生群体如何因种族、性别、性取向、残疾、公民或移民身份等而受到与同龄人不同的对待。​ 公共教育总监办公室 (OSPI) 负责 建立 and 管理 投诉调查流程。 如果 OSPI 发现某个地区存在不遵守州法律的行为，则地区负责人和学校董事会必须与学校社区和 OSPI 合作制定、采用并提交合规计划​。 在提交该计划之前，学校董事会必须就此举行公开听证会并征求公众意见。 ​ 如果发现学区的这种不合规行为是故意的，则必须举行持续的公开听证会，直到他们合规为止，并且 OSPI 可能会对学区施加后果，包括：要求学区采用或重新采用某些政策或甚至不提供基础教育经费。 关于本法案的要点 ​ “广泛投诉”类别的创建可能是一种有价值的机制，可以让人们注意到学区未能为他们所服务的学生公平地执行州法律。此外，如果华盛顿多个地区出现类似的、广泛的投诉，它可以凸显出更广泛的州级未能根据州法律保护和支持所有学生（尤其是历史上被边缘化的学生，如残疾学生、有色人种学生、等等）。​ OSPI 负责监督与华盛顿州公共教育有关的所有事务。让 OSPI 成为管理此过程的机构可能会产生内在的利益冲突。 多个地区的广泛投诉表明 OSPI 未能确保学生的公民权利和教育权利得到遵守和保护。作为管理机构，OSPI 不太可能确定这些广泛的投诉是否有价值，如果它揭露他们对其中一些系统性故障负责。 如何参与 Steps to Get Started Learn where the bill is in the legislative process.
