WSR 14-19-030 PERMANENT RULES CHARTER SCHOOL COMMISSION [Filed September 8, 2014, 2:17 p.m., effective October 9, 2014] Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: Adds clarification to and prevents confusion within chapter 108-40 WAC: WAC 108-40-200 clarifies that nothing within chapter 108-40 WAC precludes a school board from volunteering to close a school and enter into a termination agreement. As written, chapter 108-40 WAC contains no guidance for school boards volunteering to close a school. The anticipated effect of WAC 108-40-200 is a better understanding for school boards of the charter school commission's rules regarding oversight, corrective action, renewal, nonrenewal, and termination protocol, preventing confusion for those school boards that volunteer to begin the termination protocol.
