OLYMPIA The Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Washington Association of School Administrators have selected the Purple Star Award winners for 2024, according to an announcement from OSPI.
Washington state is home to thousands of military-connected families, including active-duty service members, reserves members, and veterans, the announcement said. To recognize school districts that have incorporated military-friendly practices and demonstrate a commitment to military-connected students and families, the 2023 Legislature created the Purple Star Award Program.
