WA Senate Democrats approve changes to parents' 'bill of rights'
Washington Senate Democrats on Wednesday approved changes to an initiative passed last year that establishes a parental “bill of rights” for families with children in the state’s K-12 schools.
When lawmakers passed Initiative 2081 last year, Democrats said that they would likely need to make changes to it in the future, citing confusing language that did not align with other state and federal laws.
Senate Bill 5181, which passed out of the Senate on party lines, is their attempt to fix it.
But Republicans see the changes differently, saying that they undermine the voters who signed onto the initiative and could take away parents’ rights to access information about their children.
