BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: NEW SECTION.牋Sec. 1 牋It is the intent of the legislature to promote the full success of the centennial accord, which was signed by state and tribal government leaders in 1989. As those leaders declared in the subsequent millennial accord in 1999, this will require "educating the citizens of our state, particularly the youth who are our future leaders, about tribal history, culture, treaty rights, contemporary tribal and state government institutions and relations and the contribution of Indian nations to the state of Washington." The legislature recognizes that this goal has yet to be achieved in most of our state's schools and districts. As a result, Indian students may not find the school curriculum, especially Washington state history curriculum, relevant to their lives or experiences. In addition, many students may remain uninformed about the experiences, contributions, and perspectives of their tribal neighbors, fellow citizens, and classmates. The legislature further finds that the lack of accurate and complete curricula may contribute to the persistent achievement gap between Indian and other students. The legislature finds there is a need to establish collaborative government-to-government relationships between elected school boards and tribal councils to create local and/or regional curricula about tribal history and culture, and to promote dialogue and cultural exchanges that can help tribal leaders and school leaders implement strategies to close the achievement gap. NEW SECTION.牋Sec. 2 牋A new section is added to chapter 28A.345 RCW to read as follows: 牋牋�(1) Beginning in 2006, and at least once annually through 2010, the Washington state school directors' association is encouraged to convene regional meetings and invite the tribal councils from the region for the purpose of establishing government-to-government relationships and dialogue between tribal councils and school district boards of directors. Participants in these meetings should discuss issues of mutual concern, and should work to: 牋牋�(a) Identify the extent and nature of the achievement gap and strategies necessary to close it; 牋牋�(b) Increase mutual awareness and understanding of the importance of accurate, high-quality curriculum materials about the history, culture, and government of local tribes; and 牋牋�(c) Encourage school boards to identify and adopt curriculum that includes tribal experiences and perspectives, so that Indian students are more engaged and learn more successfully, and so that all students learn about the history, culture, government, and experiences of their Indian peers and neighbors. 牋牋�(2) By December 1, 2008, and every two years thereafter through 2012, the school directors' association shall report to the education committees of the legislature regarding the progress made in the development of effective government-to-government relations, the narrowing of the achievement gap, and the identification and adoption of curriculum regarding tribal history, culture, and government. The report shall include information about any obstacles encountered, and any strategies under development to overcome them. Sec. 3 牋RCW 28A.230.090 and 2004 c 19 s 103 are each amended to read as follows: 牋牋�(1) The state board of education shall establish high school graduation requirements or equivalencies for students. 牋牋�(a) Any course in Washington state history and government used to fulfill high school graduation requirements ((is encouraged to include)) shall consider including information on the culture, history, and government of the American Indian peoples who were the first inhabitants of the state. 牋牋�(b) The certificate of academic achievement requirements under RCW 28A.655.061 or the certificate of individual achievement requirements under RCW 28A.155.045 are required for graduation from a public high school but are not the only requirements for graduation. 牋牋�(c) Any decision on whether a student has met the state board's high school graduation requirements for a high school and beyond plan shall remain at the local level. 牋牋�(2) In recognition of the statutory authority of the state board of education to establish and enforce minimum high school graduation requirements, the state board shall periodically reevaluate the graduation requirements and shall report such findings to the legislature in a timely manner as determined by the state board. 牋牋�(3) Pursuant to any requirement for instruction in languages other than English established by the state board of education or a local school district, or both, for purposes of high school graduation, students who receive instruction in American sign language or one or more American Indian languages shall be considered to have satisfied the state or local school district graduation requirement for instruction in one or more languages other than English. 牋牋�(4) If requested by the student and his or her family, a student who has completed high school courses before attending high school shall be given high school credit which shall be applied to fulfilling high school graduation requirements if: 牋牋�(a) The course was taken with high school students, if the academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and eighth grade classes, and the student has successfully passed by completing the same course requirements and examinations as the high school students enrolled in the class; or 牋牋�(b) The academic level of the course exceeds the requirements for seventh and eighth grade classes and the course would qualify for high school credit, because the course is similar or equivalent to a course offered at a high school in the district as determined by the school district board of directors. 牋牋�(5) Students who have taken and successfully completed high school courses under the circumstances in subsection (4) of this section shall not be required to take an additional competency examination or perform any other additional assignment to receive credit. 牋牋�(6) At the college or university level, five quarter or three semester hours equals one high school credit. NEW SECTION.牋Sec. 4 牋A new section is added to chapter 28A.320 RCW to read as follows: 牋牋�(1) Each school district board of directors is encouraged to incorporate curricula about the history, culture, and government of the nearest federally recognized Indian tribe or tribes, so that students learn about the unique heritage and experience of their closest neighbors. School districts near Washington's borders are encouraged to include federally recognized Indian tribes whose traditional lands and territories included parts of Washington, but who now reside in Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. School districts and tribes are encouraged to work together to develop such curricula. 牋牋�(2) As they conduct regularly scheduled reviews and revisions of their social studies and history curricula, school districts are encouraged to collaborate with any federally recognized Indian tribe within their district, and with neighboring Indian tribes, to incorporate expanded and improved curricular materials about Indian tribes, and to create programs of classroom and community cultural exchanges. 牋牋�(3) School districts are encouraged to collaborate with the office of the superintendent of public instruction on curricular areas regarding tribal government and history that are statewide in nature, such as the concept of tribal sovereignty and the history of federal policy towards federally recognized Indian tribes. The program of Indian education within the office of the superintendent of public instruction is encouraged to help local school districts identify federally recognized Indian tribes whose reservations are in whole or in part within the boundaries of the district and/or those that are nearest to the school district. 牋牋牋牋燩assed by the House April 20, 2005. 牋牋牋牋燩assed by the Senate April 7, 2005. 牋牋牋牋燗pproved by the Governor April 28, 2005. 牋牋牋牋燜iled in Office of Secretary of State April 28, 2005. 8( O � � l �  * + , � � �     4 N | � � � � � � � � �  BNPW#/18�����H'T'V']'�.�.赈h!� hnu{7� hnu{>*hnu{CJaJhnu{5丆J\乤J hnu{5乗�hnu{4|}����� � � + ����������� $$Ifa$$If $ゐa$gdnu{$a$gdnu{gdnu{ + , � � �  ���}� $$Ifa$$Ifskd$$IfT�諪��FA(€€€��6� ���� ���� ���� ���3�4�a�p�������奣   } ~ � � � � � � ��}x}x}rir $$Ifa$$Ifgdnu{$a$gdnu{ゐgdnu{skd�$$IfT�諪��FA(€€€��6� ���� ���� ���� ���3�4�a�p�������奣 � � � B#�H'.�.����������ゐgdnu{gdnu{gdnu{okd$$If�諪�& j�$€r€r€r��6� ���� ���� ���� ���3�4�a�p������� 21恏:pt�靶/ 班=!盃"盃#悹$悹%�靶靶 愋�$$If栤�!vh#v�#vx#v�:V ���6�,�5�3�4�p�������奣�$$If栤�!vh#v�#vx#v�:V ���6�,�5�3�4�p�������奣~$$If栤�!vh#vS #vD #vS :V ���6�,�5�r3�4�p��������s2����&6FVfv������2(��&6FVfv������&6FVfv������&6FVfv������&6FVfv������&6FVfv������&6FVfv��8X�V~�����€�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@�� 0@_HmH nH sH tH @`�@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA ��D Default Paragraph FontRi@��R  Table Normal�4� l4�a� (k ��(No List B^@�B nu{ Normal (Web)[$\$PK!檗�[Content_Types].xml瑧薔�0E鱄鼉�-J湶@%閭菐洽|廊�$韶钵UL襎B� l,�3鳛;鉹�得槣B+$�G]ミ7O侪V墎vn�`2莾漤,�!"篍3瀙#9嬇G�Qd恋��; H� xuv� � 摍 徸氯0F[,盕釟淜 sO鞊'3w �#圮妽黺fS蠽bs勜爕摙X� 幈p�5v埍euw 1鈠@� 鉲,溁膇!b I� 宩Z響�2�剕�9搞�淡簫廘$�圸洒15聏�妉.�(厉�m${骴ㄣ:\@�'𩔗聹踠n$癪-樽@^靑?狊菵&�趞�#苩d�!姦6l從龍B�"�&6�3�yy@裰t�!豀鏖jp擴Т*ye朮ry3{s:FXI 俊�塐�5Y�[Y!}蹴S霜.獱7b剑鲋d|n]�枌扰最6毰71�.� 旖t織n�/蒇铉w/�+�鶘[舤6钛謢麡P�s婘冠簊鐻�.
