Due to the ongoing fight to reduce the impacts of COVID-19, the budget impacts of the pandemic, and the recent directive by Governor Inslee to reduce employee work hours as a cost savings measure, OSPI is closed and all staff are on mandatory furlough today. Employees will respond to inquiries as quickly as possible when the agency reopens on July 14.
See OSPI’s COVID-19 guidance and resources for educators, students, and families.
These updates are created by the OSPI Special Education staff. The Special Education Office will send out an email via GovDelivery when the update for the current month is available.
