Board Policy 2409 ~ Credit for Competency/Proficiency; First and Second Reading
There is a new annual notification requirement from OSPI for the 2024-2025 school year that will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year. It pertains to high school students only and requires school districts to share student information with OSPI who will then share it with higher education entities that have signed a data sharing agreement. There is an opt out option, but the language below is what is required for our annual notifications.
Data-Sharing with Higher Education RCW 28A.150.515 and RCW 28B.10.041 require that school districts submit directory information for high school students and their parents/guardians to OSPI. “Directory information" means the names, addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers of students and their parents or legal guardians. OSPI is required to make this information available to institutions of higher education for the purpose of informing students of postsecondary educational opportunities available in the state. Institutions of higher education for this purpose are Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, The Evergreen State College, University of Washington, Washington State University, Western Washington University, Washington State Community and Technical Colleges, St. Martin’s University, and Heritage University.
Students or their parents/guardians may opt-out of having this data shared.
