Concerning school district communications to the general public.
SB 5910 clarifies that Washington school districts may communicate directly with the public about school operations, including curriculum, student achievement, safety, budgets, facility conditions, and funding sources like ballot propositions. The bill removes restrictions on school districts' communication methods, allowing them to use any medium (including social media) without limitations on content, format, or frequency. It explicitly prohibits using this authority to influence school district election outcomes. The law aims to improve transparency amid declining local media and misinformation challenges, ensuring communities receive factual information about their schools.
