EMERGENCY RULES
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately.
Purpose: To revise current rules to allow the opportunity for institutional funding moneys to be paid to a school district where the services for the staffed residential rehabilitation home residents occurs in a school operated facility rather than at the rehabilitation home.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 392-122-205.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.150.290.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: The change is to allow the opportunity for institutional funding moneys to be paid to a school district where the services for the staffed residential rehabilitation home residents occurs in a school-operated facility rather than at the residential home.
It was found that one of the homes didn't have the space for educating the students and needed to send the students to the local school district for their education needs. The district will lose funding if the rule is not changed, making it a financial burden to a district that is already in financial trouble.
