and the Superintendent of Public Instruction. By State Board of
Education action, the Governor or a representative appointed by
the Governor and two high school students elected annually by
the Washington Association of Student Councils serve as ex officio

school accreditation.
Funds for staff support and expenses are provided through an appropriation
