effective 1/8/95)
WAC 392-121-123
Nonstandard school year programs.
((Notwithstanding the count dates in WAC 392-121-122, a
student who is participating in a course of study, other than
running start and transition school, on a tuition-free basis
and who has not been counted as a full-time equivalent student
for all of the first nine months of the school year may be
counted in any of the last three months of the school year as
long as enrollment counts for such student do not exceed the
limitation on enrollment counts set forth in WAC 392-121-136.)) A student participating in a program of
education occurring during June, July, or August (nonstandard
school year) on a tuition-free basis may be claimed for state
funding to the extent that the student was not claimed as a
1.0 AAFTE during the regular school year (September through
May), subject to the following:
(1) Eligible student FTE in a nonstandard school year program shall be claimed based upon the following:
(a) Enrolled hours based upon the standards in WAC 392-121-122 or 392-121-182.
(b) Credit based for student enrolled in a college program under WAC 392-121-188.
(c) A student enrolled in transition school or a running start program is not eligible for nonstandard school year funding.
(2) A district shall make month by month evaluation of the student to determine if the following conditions were met during the regular school year:
(a) The student was not home schooled or enrolled in a private school.
(b) The student was not claimed as a 1.0 FTE in a regular or institution education program.
(3) For each month in which the conditions of subsection (2) of this section are met, the district shall determine the amount of student FTE claimed for the student. To the extent the enrollment claimed is less than 1.0 FTE for each month, the school district may claim nonstandard school year FTE based upon the student enrollment in the nonstandard school year school program.
