A bill that would help ensure students in grades K-12 know how to report sexual abuse has passed the House Education Committee.  The legislation, known as Erin’s Law, calls for the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish a coordinated program to provide age-appropriate information and training pertaining to the prevention of sexual abuse of students, and disseminate existing information and curricula to school districts.  Goldendale Representative Gina McCabe is sponsoring the bill, saying it is a necessary means to helping Washington children escape abusive situations and relationships.  Thirty-one states have enacted Erin’s Law legislation.  The 2018 legislative session began January 8 and is scheduled to run 60 consecutive days.
