While our main focus so far this legislative session has been on the state budget, separate legislation impacting school districts continue to be introduced. We are continually updating our WASB State Bill Tracking Chart as new bills are released so please check it regularly.
The chart can be found on the header menu of this blog under “WASB Resources” and on our main website, WASB.org, under Services & Resources>>>Advocacy & Government Relations>>>State Bill Tracking Chart.
