Making collective bargaining for school districts subject to the open public meetings act.

HB 2712 requires Washington school districts to conduct all collective bargaining negotiations (including contract talks and grievance meetings) publicly, either in person or via video streaming, and to post all negotiation documents and final agreements on their public website within two business days. It mandates public notice of meetings per the Open Public Meetings Act (chapter 42.30 RCW) but does not require public comment during negotiations or cover post-agreement grievance proceedings. The bill directly affects school districts and their negotiations with employee organizations, ensuring transparency in the bargaining process. Violations would be treated as breaches of the Open Public Meetings Act.
