Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of the proposal is to correct a statutory reference in WAC 180-16-002 and to repeal WAC 180-16-225, chapter 180-44 WAC, and WAC 180-51-001 as unnecessary or obsolete in Title 180 WAC.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: WAC 180-08-015 requires the state board of education (SBE) to review all board rules no less than every three years. This proposal is a product of that review, as presented to the board at its meeting in November 2014, at which the board approved the filing of a CR-101 for amendment or repeal of nine sections of rule. The board determined that the rules included for repeal in this proposal are unnecessary, out-of-date, duplicative of other agencies' rules, or not consistent with board policies.
