OSPI remains defiant as federal funding for Washington state schools is at risk

State Superintendent Chris Reykdal is very concerned about potential education cuts from the federal government, but says the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is not changing course despite threats from the Trump administration, including a federal investigation into OSPI over implementing a gender inclusion policy that conflicts with federal law.

“Things are complicated in the education world, as you all know,” Reykdal told members of the Washington State Board of Education on the final day of a three-day gathering at the Chehalis Tribal Community Center.
