Regional Partnerships: Legislative Report on Program Implementation
Washington Student Achievement Council
The Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) works collaboratively with place-based, cross-sector partnerships seeking to increase postsecondary attainment in their communities. The Regional Challenge Grant (RCG) is a key mechanism in WSAC's broader Regional Partnership (RP) approach to invest in partnerships that self-identify strategies to drive change to targeted populations in their local communities. Systems change and innovation are required to meet Washington's attainment goal of ensuring that 70 percent of Washingtonians receive a postsecondary credential. Since SB 5789's passage in 2022, WSAC has awarded more than $11 million to 13 regional partnerships across the state. Today, more than 50 percent of Washingtonians live in a service region with at least one regional partnership. The RP investment by WSAC is a long-term, strategic approach, necessary for creating lasting systems change in local communities. In this year's legislative report, the reporting requirements outlined in RCW 28B.120.060 are satisfied by: (1) Providing high-level programmatic updates; (2) Reporting on legislatively-mandated district-level educational outcomes for all school districts in which WSAC-supported regional partnerships actively operate; and (3) Summarizing the work of WSAC-supported regional partnerships.
