Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: SBOE is proposing repeal of WAC 180-16-215 due to recent legislation. The current version of WAC 180-16-215 is consistent with existing state statutory requirements. However, this will not be the case as of September 1, 2011, when the definition of "school day" is changed due to legislation adopted in 2009. The basic education program requirements are set forth in statute. Therefore, it is unnecessary for the board to adopt a rule setting forth these requirements. Deletion of this rule in its entirety will insure that the rules don't conflict with state law and avoid the need to continue amending the rule to conform to subsequent changes to statutory law. The basic education program requirements will continue to be implemented as provided in WAC 180-16-195.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: See the above statement.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.150.220(4).
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 28A.150.220(4).
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
