WA Student Achievement Council Releases Strategic Action Plan

Building on the work of the Council’s 2013 Roadmap report, the 2014 Strategic Action Plan outlines important and immediate steps to meet the state’s attainment goals by 2023:(1)  All adults in Washington, ages 25-44, will have a high school diploma or equivalent and (2) at least 70 percent of Washington adults, ages 25-44, will have a postsecondary credential.

The Action Plan sets forth seven recommendations:

  • Fulfill caseload requirements for the College Bound Scholarship
  • Protect maintenance-level funding for public two- and four-year institutions
  • Serve more State Need Grant-eligible students
  • Expand the reach of dual-credit opportunities
  • Support underrepresented students
  • Reinvest in State Work Study
  • Develop an affordability framework.

The funding and policy recommendations in this plan were developed with input from stakeholders across the sectors, including K-12, community and technical colleges, and public and private baccalaureate institutions. The recommendations also align with the Council’s 2013 Roadmap report.
