HB 1910 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Increasing funding for teacher-librarians.

HB 1910 modifies Washington State's school funding formula to increase state allocations for teacher-librarians in public schools. The bill specifies minimum staffing levels of 0.66 full-time equivalent positions for teacher-librarians in elementary schools and one full-time equivalent position in middle and high schools. This change directly affects all public school districts receiving basic education funding by mandating additional state resources for school library media programs. The increased funding supports information literacy and technology resources through library programs, as defined in the bill's amendment to the state's education funding law.
