The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is required, under Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill (E2SSB) 5315 (2023), to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding the placement of students receiving special education services at entities known as nonpublic agencies (NPAs). As of December 2023, there are 94 NPAs currently authorized by OSPI for the 2023-24 school year. This bill affirms and expands upon OSPI's existing responsibility to ensure that NPAs are authorized to provide services to students who are eligible to receive special education services. The bill established minimum contract requirements for school district placements at an NPA and set minimum standards for OSPI to annually authorize and reauthorize entities as NPAs. The bill also directed OSPI to create a complaint process for any individual to report noncompliance with local, state, or federal laws or violations of student rights by NPAs.
