Compromise worked out to merge education reform legislation

Two competing bills to overhaul Washington's education system are being scrunched together into one proposal.

The Senate's Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee held a public hearing on that proposed meshing Thursday.

The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction doesn't think much of the compromise bill. Like one of its predecessors, it would force the elected superintendent to work with a new governor-appointed education secretary, who would have better-defined powers.
