Washington LEA Academic and Student Well-Being Recovery Plan
As required by the Legislature in House Bill 1368, each Washington public school district, state-tribal education compact school, and charter school must submit an academic and student well-being recovery plan to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) no later than June 1, 2021. A follow-up survey to determine LEA progress will be sent in Fall 2021. The recovery plan is intended to provide information on how LEAs plan to address student needs due to school closures and extended time in remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LEAs are required to receive school board approval of their updated plan.
Anacortes School District's plan was approved by the School Board on May 20, 2021.
