The Washington Student Achievement Council on May 20 approved a 2026 Strategic Action Plan that centers equity and regional partnerships as the primary strategy for reaching a statewide postsecondary attainment goal of 70 percent. Presenters told the council the plan frames policy, knowledge development, and practice work around community-responsive pathways.
Council presenters Abby Chien, Ami Magisos, Armen Papyan and Rathi Sudhakara said the plan intentionally embeds equity across all clusters, and staff emphasized the need to be responsive to changing economic conditions. The council approved the plan by motion during the meeting.
Council leaders noted the plan may need adjustments because of recent legislative budget actions and broader fiscal uncertainty. The plan's approval authorizes WSAC staff to proceed with implementation steps and regional partnership engagement described in the presentation.
