Our Commitment
The Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) is committed to providing equal access to its services and programs to individuals with disabilities. Accordingly, in providing its services, either directly or through contractual arrangements, PESB will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided with an opportunity to participate in or benefit from the aid, benefit, or service that is equal to that afforded to others.
To ensure equal access, PESB will ensure that requests for accommodations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and that, based on an individualized analysis, reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures are provided when the modifications are necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability, unless PESB can demonstrate that making the modification would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity.
Request Accommodations
If you would like to request an accommodation for a PESB service or activity or report an issue with the accessibility of any content on this website or an agency service, please email pesb@k12.wa.us. In your email, please include your contact information, along with the web page link and a description of the problem(s) you have encountered. To allow time to make arrangements, requests should be made as soon as possible. Please allow at least seven business days prior to a scheduled meeting, event, or conference you plan to attend.
Request accommodations for educator assessments
Requests for accommodations for educator assessments should be made directly to the provider of the assessment.
