WSR 15-16-077 PERMANENT RULES SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION [Filed July 31, 2015, 12:02 p.m., effective August 31, 2015] Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The purpose of this revision to increase the processing fee by $6.00 to provide more adequate support to the increasing demand and activity realized by the professional certification office.
The anticipated impact of customer service activity is greater than the staffing originally projected to adequately respond to Washington state educators, school districts administrator personnel, and the general public.
The current staffing and operational funding support inhibits our ability to timely meet the needs of our constituents. This amendment of increasing the processing fee is a step to assist in meeting the pressing service needs of our constituents.
