Inslee Issues Education Proclamations

Governor Jay Inslee issued two public education proclamations related to the coronavirus outbreak. The first temporarily suspends residence requirements for public university graduate students to receive tuition waivers in exchange for performing teaching and research functions. The other prohibits school districts from interpreting Student Transportation statutes in a manner that would restrict a school’s ability to use its current transportation allocation for certain, limited purposes such as delivering educational materials, meals, and technology.
