Speaking on behalf of Washington State PTA, parent advocate Natalya Yudkovsky asked the Senate education committee to pass SHB 1302 from committee. The bill would extend the opportunity for 9^th graders to earn college credit when taking College in the High School courses. Also, at the request of WSPTA, bill sponsor Rep. April Berg, D-Everett, added stronger provisions to clarify the cost of courses, the option to take the course but not for college credit, and course expectations. Hear Natalya’s testimony here.
