PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

SUPERINTENDENT OF

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

[Filed September 3, 2019, 2:27 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 392-320 WAC, School personnel—Administrator internship program.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28A.415.300.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: E2SHB 1139 (2019) made changes to the administrator internship program. Among the changes, administration of the program, which was previously assigned to educational service districts, was changed to the office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI). Therefore, OSPI is considering rule making to address this and any additional changes that may be needed.

Process for Developing New Rule: Early solicitation of public comments and recommendations respecting new, amended, or repealed rules, and consideration of the comments and recommendations in the course of drafting rules.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Timothy York, Professional Certification Office, OSPI, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504-7200, phone 360-725-6400, fax 360-753-4201, TTY 360-664-3631, email timothy.york@k12.wa.us, web site k12.wa.us.
