What is House Bill 1660?

In 2020, the Legislature passed House Bill 1660 – Relating to the participation of students who are low-income in extracurricular activities. This bill aims to increase participation in extracurricular activities by:

  • Creating equitable access to extracurricular opportunities that improve academic, social, and emotional outcomes;
  • Collecting and analyzing data; and
  • Addressing barriers to extracurricular activities, such as ASB fees.

The new law revised RCW 28A.325.010 and RCW 28A.325.050. For optional non-credit extracurricular activities, school districts must:

  • Waive attendance or participation fees for eligible low-income students;
  • Reduce attendance fees for low-income students’ family members; and
  • Reduce attendance fees for low-income non students age > 65.

The new law also requires school districts to calculate, report and resolve any student opportunity gaps.

What do families need to know?

Board Policy No. 5560 Student Fees, Fines, Charges and Board Policy No. 5300 Associated Student Bodies reflect the new law.

To receive HB 1660 benefits, students must receive free and reduced-price meals with parent consent marked to share eligibility status. Families can submit an application for free and reduced-priced meals here.

Uniforms will be provided and applicable student fees will be waived for eligible low-income students. In addition, a Family Event Pass may be requested to receive reduced attendance fees for eligible family members.
