The Washington State Senate Education Committee met in executive session after public hearings and took the following formal actions on May 20:

- Gubernatorial appointment: Michael McKillop (appointment number 9217) was referred to the Human Services Committee on a motion adopted by the committee.
Committee minutes record that motions were made from the floor during the executive session, members were polled by voice, and each motion passed with a voice vote. The record as read in the session describes unanimous voice support for the motions where no opposing speakers were recorded; no roll‑call tallies appear in the transcript excerpt.
The committee’s adoption of substitutes and due‑pass recommendations advances the bills to the next steps in the legislative process; all actions were recorded as "subject to signatures" in the committee transcript.
