HB 1877 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Eliminating the offices, agencies, programs, and services of the public education system that do not have direct daily interaction with students.

HB 1877 would eliminate most non-teaching administrative offices in Washington state's public education system that do not involve daily student interaction, such as educational service districts and certain programs. By December 31, 2025, the state auditor must identify these offices and dissolve them, with the exception of the constitutionally required superintendent position. The bill states this change aims to reduce costs and administrative burdens, directing any education-related functions to be relocated into student-facing roles. This proposal is currently in committee review after its first reading on February 7, 2025.
