Story

Governor Jay Inslee today issued two proclamations related to public education in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first proclamation is for the Washington residency requirement for public university tuition waivers for graduate students and the second proclamation is for student transportation to K-12 public schools.

Residence for tuition fee waivers – 20-69

This proclamation suspends the residency requirement that allows graduate students from public universities to receive tuition waivers in exchange for performing teaching and research duties. Many graduate students come from out of state and out of the country; However, due to COVID, many of these graduates may not be able to make it to campus, but they can still work remotely in online learning environments.

The proclamation is in effect for 30 days and will expire on September 25.

Transportation and Distance Learning for Kindergarten to Grade 12 Education – 20-70

In consultation with the OSPI, this proclamation prohibits school districts from interpreting student transportation laws in a way that would restrict a school’s ability to use its current transportation allowance for certain purposes. These objectives are stated and limited. Permitted purposes include the use of buses and bus drivers to provide educational material (homework / educational packages / other tangible educational material); meal; and any technology (such as WiFi hotspots) that will allow students to learn remotely. School districts can also transport students to and from learning centers.

The proclamation also requires school districts to track and document the time and specific uses of school buses and bus drivers to provide the above services.

In cases where use of the work-sharing program is possible, the governor encourages school districts to use this program to avoid layoffs.

The proclamation will remain in effect for the duration of the state of emergency or until amended or rescinded, whichever occurs first.
