Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The rule change addresses capital construction agreements entered into by host and nonhigh school districts. The new section added to the chapter provides nonhigh districts (districts with no high school) with basic protections and ensures the host districts are able to secure financing of capital construction projects. Previously, nonhigh school districts were vulnerable to dissolution if the district and host high school district cannot agree to terms of capital construction financing.

NEW SECTION
WAC 392-132-075Nonhigh school district capital fund payment schedules.
When determining a nonhigh school district's capital fund payments to a serving high school district, a serving high school district may not:
(1) Bill the nonhigh school district an amount which is greater than the sum of the calculation determined by the superintendent of public instruction under WAC 392-132-040;
(2) Collect capital funds payments from a nonhigh school district using an expedited payment schedule which would require the nonhigh school district to make capital fund payments on a more accelerated or condensed payment schedule than that of the serving high school district.
