  • 1. Minimum Basic Education Requirement Compliance and District Survey

    Instructions and Information Before You Begin
     
    The State Board of Education, which is responsible for ensuring school district compliance with the requirements of the Program of Basic Education (RCW 28A.150.220(7)WAC 180-16-195, and WAC 180-16-200), annually conducts a data collection that allows school districts to confirm compliance. Local educational agencies (LEAs) are also requested to complete this data collection. We use school district and LEA interchangeably, so even though the prompt refers to school districts, the prompt is intended to include school districts and LEAs (charter schools and tribal compacts).

    Most of the prompts reflect actions and offerings for the upcoming 2023-24 school year. To implement the process of Basic Education certification, the SBE created the 2023-24 Basic Education Compliance Matrix (shown here), which lists required educational offerings. Basic education compliance is established through district attestation that they are providing each of the required offerings.  

    For the 2023-24 school year, the survey application has been updated to address the evolving need to collect information from districts to help improve the state’s K-12 educational system. It is no longer necessary to complete FP 600 in iGrants as in previous years.  Your responses to this survey, and responses to possible follow-up questions from SBE staff, will complete the reporting requirement for the 2023-24 school year.

    The purpose of these questions is twofold. First to h
    elp inform districts of requirements and recommendations in current law, and second, to gather information that helps the Board to promote a system that best meets the goals of Basic Education for all students.

    School districts will only be presented with questions appropriate to their grade levels served.  Please be careful on the first and the second pages of the survey answering the questions about the name of the school district and grades your district serves. For your convenience, several questions have been provided to ensure that the application correctly displays the name of the school district that the applicant represents. 

    The survey includes questions about the following topics:
    • Grade levels served.
    • Days of instruction, and any related waivers.
    • Average instructional hours.
    • Graduation requirements: the High School and Beyond Plan, course offerings, and graduation pathways.
    • State-mandated and state-recommended educational offerings and activities.
    • Mastery-based crediting and learning; School Climate Survey.
    • Class of 2022 graduation requirement emergency waiver administration.

    We recommend that you review the sample survey available here to gather all the information you will need in advance of completing the on-line form. We also provide links to the relevant statutes and rules for you to review as you need. The Basic Education Compliance Matrix also includes links to more information on each requirement and references WSSDA model policies where appropriate. Quick Tip: Please "right click" the link and select the "Open in a new tab" to review the statute or rule, which will allow you to continue with the survey uninterrupted; however, if you do need to pause the survey, a "Save" option is available.

    We believe this survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete. We included an option to save your progress and return later to complete.

    Please note the following tentative deadlines for Basic Education submission and certification:
    • If you submit your responses to the SBE on or before June 12 and there are no issues, it is likely that your school district could be certified as being in compliance with the provision of basic education for the 2023-24 school year at the SBE's June SBE meeting.
    • If you submit your responses on or before August 1, your school district or LEA could be certified at the August SBE meeting.
    • We expect to certify the final school districts at the September 7 SBE meeting, so all responses will need to be submitted no later than August 23.
    Note: we encourage you to complete and submit your responses before the end of the current school year, so that you and your staff are not tasked with this over the summer or at the start of the next school year.

    This survey and certification of compliance with the Program of Basic Education are the responsibility of the Washington State Board of Education. Please forward any questions you might have to Viktoria Bobyleva, Basic Education Manager, at viktoria.bobyleva@k12.wa.us.  Please include the words "Basic Ed Collection" in the subject line.


    OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
    • Validation is used throughout the survey to provide additional information where responses may not meet the requirements.
    • This year, we again included the "Save and Continue" function that allows you to save work, end the session, and return to the survey at a later time.  Look in the lower right corner of the survey screen for the words "Save and continue later"After selecting this option and providing your email address, a link to re-access the survey will be sent to you, which you may forward to another person as needed. 
    • At the end of the survey, you will have the chance to Review your Responses and go back to change responses as needed.
    • After you submit your responses, you will receive an email confirmation with a PDF attachment showing your responses to the survey prompts. Items shown in bold red font indicate potential issues with your responses that will need to be addressed. Please contact Viktoria Bobyleva, Basic Education Manager, at viktoria.bobyleva@k12.wa.us to learn more about the potential issues.
    • We will post and regularly update the certification status of school districts on the SBE website but are unable to send out individual communications regarding status update. We encourage you to check the website regularly to learn about your district's status. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Viktoria Bobyleva as shown above.

      • 2. Grades Offered

        This year, we provided you with more options to select the grades served at your school district or LEA. In doing so, we can design survey logic to  present prompts specifically targeted for the grade levels served. For example, if you represent a K-8 school district, you will not be presented with prompts for high schools and if you are a K-3 charter school, you will not be presented with prompts intended for grade 4 or higher.

        We recognize that some charter schools are in the process of building out their school by adding one grade level each year to support the promotion of students to the next grade level. Please select the grade level that best describes your school district or LEA. For example,
        • you may represent a charter school LEA serving grades K-11 when you are authorized to serve grades K-12. We would expect you to select K-12 because that grade configuration best matches the grades served for the 2023-24 school year.
        • We also know many school districts offer Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) programs, but none of the prompts address Pre-K programs. If your school district serves Pre-K to grade 12, please select K-12 as that best matches your grade configuration.
          4. Which of the following best describes the range of grades offered in your school district?
          • K-12
          5. How many schools in the district serve 12th grade students?
          • 1
        • 3. Days of Instruction and Waivers

          By answering the following questions, school districts provide prospective assurance of meeting minimum requirements of the program of basic education as described in RCW 28A.150 for the 2023-24 school year. 

          The State Board of Education has a FAQ on instructional hours, and in the end of 2022 the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction released Bulletin 077-22 regarding options for instructional funding models for the 2022-23 school year that could be taken into consideration for the 2023-24 school year. WAC 180-16-195 and WAC 180-16-200 have also been updated.


          If the school district has questions about its compliance status, please email sbe@k12.wa.us and a State Board of Education (SBE) staff member will contact you.

It's a process for students, parents, and teachers to guide students through high school and think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work to achieve goals. A High School and Beyond Plan is one of the three components, along with Credit and Subject Area Requirements, and Graduation Pathway Options, that Washington students must complete to achieve a high school diploma.

                    WAC 180-51-220 requires that the High School and Beyond Plan be initiated no later than the 8th grade.
