Under this law, all major facility projects of public school districts receiving any funding in a state capital budget must be designed and built in accordance with either the Washington Sustainable Schools Protocol (adapted from the California CHPS guidelines) or the LEED Silver standard. The law directs the state Superintendent for Public Instruction to develop guidelines for using and verifying compliance with these two sets of building design criteria.
