The student teaching centers shall be an alternative means of placing teachers into school districts throughout the state. Nothing in RCW 28A.415.100 through 28A.415.140 or 28A.415.250 precludes a higher education institution that is not a participant in a training center from placing student teachers into a district that may be participating formally with other institutions in a student teaching center program, or placing student teachers into districts pursuant to an agreement between the institution and district.
