PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

SUPERINTENDENT OF

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

[Filed February 17, 2021, 10:40 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Add new section to chapter 392-415 WAC, Secondary education—Standardized high school transcript.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28A.320.192.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) is considering rule making concerning on-time grade level progression and graduation of students who are homeless, dependent, or at-risk youth or children. The rules would clarify the substantive and procedural obligations of school districts to fully implement RCW 28A.320.192.

Process for Developing New Rule: Early solicitation of feedback and recommendations respecting new or amended 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 Matt Smith, OSPI, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504, phone 360-725-6251, TTY 360-664-3631, email matt.smith@k12.wa.us, website k12.wa.us; or Aubry Schlottmann, OSPI, P.O.
