Convened by OSPI and the Office of Education Ombuds, the purpose of the workgroup is to advise OSPI, the Washington State School Directors’ Association, and the Legislature on specific strategies meant to improve meaningful, equitable access for public school students and their family members who have language access barriers. In 2019, the Legislature passed House Bill 1130 (HB 1130) which created the Language Access Workgroup.
By October 1, 2020, the Workgroup must report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature.
