Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Effective September 1, 2004, WAC 392-121-124 Full-time equivalent enrollment for work based learning, which applies to basic education, was revised to implement several changes. The intention has always been to keep the work based learning rules consistent across all K-12 education, regardless of whether the work based learning takes place in a high school or an institution. Therefore, the institution education WAC 392-122-212 needs to reflect these same changes. We propose to change the institution WAC to refer to the basic education work based learning WAC. This will keep the institution WAC in sync with the basic education work based learning WAC both now and in the future.
