The document summarizes Washington’s legislative and programmatic work in 1970–71 to ensure children with disabilities received appropriate education, including the passage of House Bills 90 and 91, which required districts to identify, report, and serve children previously excluded from public schools. It outlines the duties assigned to the Superintendent of Public Instruction—such as monitoring district compliance, establishing criteria for special education, coordinating services with other agencies, and approving programs—and explains how services would expand as districts developed facilities, staffing, and instructional plans. It describes common challenges, such as limited community resources, lack of specialized staff, and inconsistent identification of children needing services, and emphasizes that comprehensive planning and district cooperation were essential to meeting the new mandates. The “Education for All” section highlights statewide advocacy efforts pushing for these reforms, stressing the importance of equal educational opportunity for every child and the need for strong leadership, funding, and local initiative to carry out the new laws successfully.
