This bill amends RCW 28A.210.430 and adds a new findings section to encourage school districts, charter schools, and state-tribal education compact schools that serve grades 9–12 to offer instruction raising awareness of bone marrow and blood donation. Beginning in the 2025–26 school year, that instruction may be included in at least one health class required for graduation for grades 9–12, and schools serving grades K–8 may offer an age-appropriate version. The instruction must be an instructional program provided by the national marrow donor program, the American Red Cross, America's Blood Centers, Bloodworks Northwest, or other relevant nationally recognized organizations focused on bone marrow or blood donation. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must post a link to those programs on its website. Schools may provide the instruction directly or arrange for community-based providers to do so, and the instruction does not have to be delivered by certificated instructional staff. This is a modification of existing law creating new procedural requirements and options for curriculum delivery; it does not create new crimes or penalties. The extracted text does not include the full prior statute for comparison and does not specify curriculum content, funding, parental notification or opt-out provisions, oversight, or how “other relevant nationally recognized organizations” are defined.

If enacted, high schools would be able to add awareness instruction about bone marrow and blood donation into at least one health class required for graduation beginning in 2025–26, and K–8 schools could offer age‑appropriate versions. Practically, that gives school districts, charter schools, and state‑tribal compact schools a new, optional health topic they can deliver themselves or bring in community or national organizations (like the national marrow donor program or the Red Cross) without needing certificated teachers, which lowers staffing or training burdens but may shift coordination work to school administrators. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction must post links to approved instructional programs, which should make it easier for schools to find providers, but the bill does not provide funding or specify curriculum details, parental notification or opt‑outs, oversight, or exactly which other organizations qualify; those gaps leave questions about costs, implementation choices, and responsibilities at the district level.
