This bill amends RCW 28A.300.105 and RCW 28A.320.170, creates a new section in chapter 28A.305 RCW, and establishes annual monitoring and evaluation of school district compliance with RCW 28A.320.170 beginning in the 2026–27 school year. It creates an "office of Native education" within the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), assigns the state board of education to implement the monitoring in coordination with that office, and requires annual summary reports to the education committees of the legislature for 2027 through 2029. School districts must meet the curricular requirement in RCW 28A.320.170 by September 1, 2026. The text references the "John McCoy (lulilaš) since time immemorial curriculum" as an available way to meet the curricular requirement. Legally, the bill is primarily an administrative and procedural change: it adds new reporting and monitoring duties, creates an office within OSPI, and amends existing education statutes. It requires OSPI and the office of Native education to report on consultations and collaborations with federally recognized tribes and to provide recommendations by September 1, 2026, on compensating tribes that provide expertise or consultation and on evaluation and accountability metrics. The new monitoring/evaluation section expires September 1, 2029, and the section requiring the OSPI recommendations report expires August 1, 2027. Several duties of the office of Native education are qualified "to the extent funds are available." Affected entities explicitly include OSPI, the newly created office of Native education, the state board of education, school districts, federally recognized tribes (including tribes with traditional lands now in Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia), the governor, the Legislature, and advisory committees. The extracted text does not specify the exact statutory number assigned to the new RCW section, the content of the referenced curriculum, the methods or forms for monitoring and data collection, or any specific funding amounts or mechanisms to compensate tribes.

If enacted, school districts must adopt or revise social studies curriculum to include material about nearby federally recognized tribes by September 1, 2026, and a new Native education office inside the state education agency will be created to support that work. The state board of education will begin annual monitoring in the 2026–27 school year and must report district compliance to the legislature each year through 2029, while the education office must deliver a September 1, 2026 report proposing how tribes should be paid for consultation and recommending evaluation metrics; those monitoring duties expire in 2029 and the compensation-report requirement expires in 2027. The most affected parties are school districts (new curriculum responsibilities and potential short-term costs to adopt or consult), tribes (asked to consult and to be considered for compensation but not yet guaranteed payment), and the state education agency (new staffing and reporting duties that depend on available funding). Key implementation details are missing here: the content of the referenced curriculum, how monitoring and enforcement will be carried out, and any actual funding or payment mechanism for compensating tribes.
