A new policy brief sets forth Washington Governor Gregoire's plan for a unified education governance structure, from early learning through postsecondary. The plan calls for a secretary of education, appointed by the governor, to oversee a department of education that houses four divisions--one each for early learning, K-12, community colleges/technical education, and universities.
The plan also calls for the creation of a P-20 council, with members appointed by the governor. The council would be charged with developing a state education strategic plan and state accountability measures, as well as identifying best practices.
