Student Achievement Council to meet at Western Sept. 24

The Washington Student Achievement Council will meet from 9 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, in Old Main Room 340 on the Western Washington University campus.

A complete agenda for the meeting is available online.

The meeting will further guide council members in their development of the Roadmap, a report due to the Washington state Legislature and governor in December 2013 as required by statute. The Roadmap will provide prioritized policy recommendations for improving student achievement and attainment in Washington. More information on the Roadmap is available on the Council website.

Established as a new cabinet-level state agency on July 1, 2012, the Washington Student Achievement Council provides strategic planning, oversight and advocacy to support increased student success and higher levels of educational attainment in Washington. The council proposes improvements and innovations to meet the evolving needs of students, employers and the educational community. In recognition of the economic, social and civic benefits of public education, the council advocates for increased financial support and civic commitment to ensure a thriving Washington. 

The nine-member council includes five citizens (including a current student) and one representative from each of Washington’s four major educational sectors.
