(19) $4,804,000 of the public safety and education account appropriation
is provided solely for contracts with qualified legal aid programs for civil
indigent legal representation pursuant to RCW 43.08.260. It is the intent of
the legislature to ensure that legal aid programs receiving funds appropriated
in this act pursuant to RCW 43.08.260 comply with all applicable restrictions
on use of these funds. To this end, during the 1995-97 fiscal biennium the
department shall monitor compliance with the authorizing legislation, shall
oversee the implementation of this subsection, and shall report directly to the
appropriations committee of the house of representatives and the ways and means
committee of the senate.
(a) It is the intent of the legislature to improve communications between legal aid programs and persons affected by the activities of legal aid programs. There is established for the 1995-97 fiscal biennium a task force on agricultural interests/legal aid relations. The task force shall promote better understanding and cooperation between agricultural interests and legal aid programs and shall provide a forum for discussion of issues of common concern. The task force shall not involve itself in pending litigation.
(i) The task force shall consist of the following sixteen members: Four representatives of agricultural organizations, to be appointed by the legislator members; two individuals who represent the corresponding interests of legal clients, to be appointed by organizations designated by the three legal services programs; two representatives of Evergreen Legal Services, to be appointed by its board of directors; one representative each from Puget Sound Legal Assistance Foundation and Spokane Legal Services Center, each to be appointed by its directors; one member from each of the majority and minority caucuses of the house of representatives, to be appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives; one member from each of the majority and minority caucuses of the senate, to be appointed by the president of the senate; and two members of the supreme court-appointed access to justice board, to be appointed by the board. During fiscal year 1996, the task force shall be chaired by a legislative member, to be selected by the task force members. During fiscal year 1997, the committee shall be chaired by a nonlegislator member, to be selected by the task force members.
(ii) All costs associated with the meetings shall be borne by the individual task force members or by the organizations that the individuals represent. No task force member shall be eligible for reimbursement of expenses under RCW 43.03.050 or 43.03.060. Nothing in this subsection prevents the legal aid programs from using funds appropriated in this act to reimburse their representatives or the individuals representing legal clients.
(iii) The task force will meet at least four times during the first year of the biennium and as frequently as necessary thereafter at mutually agreed upon times and locations. Any member of the task force may place items on meeting agendas. Members present at the first two task force meetings shall agree upon a format for subsequent meetings.
(b) The legislature recognizes that farmworkers have the right to receive basic information and to consult with attorneys at farm labor camps without fear of intimidation or retaliation. It is the intent of the legislature and in the interest of the public to ensure the safety of all persons affected by legal aid programs' farm labor camp outreach activities. Legal aid program employees have the legal right to enter the common areas of a labor camp or to request permission of employees to enter their dwellings. Employees living in grower supplied housing have the right to refuse entry to anyone including attorneys unless they have a warrant. Individual employees living in employer supplied housing do not have the right to force legal aid program employees to leave common areas of housing (outside) as long as one person who resides in the associated dwellings wants that person to be there. Any legal aid program employee wishing to visit employees housed on grower property has the right to enter the driveway commonly used by the housing occupants. This means that if agricultural employees must use a grower's personal driveway to get to their housing, legal aid program employees also may use that driveway to access the housing without a warrant so long as at least some of the housing is occupied. When conducting outreach activities that involve entry onto labor camps, legal aid programs shall establish and abide by policies regarding conduct of outreach activities. The policies shall include a requirement that legal aid program employees identify themselves to persons whom they encounter at farm labor camps. The legal aid programs shall provide copies of their current outreach policies to known agricultural organizations and shall provide copies upon request to any owner of property on which farmworkers are housed. Legal aid program employees involved in outreach activities shall attempt to inform operators of licensed farm labor camps or their agents, and known grower organizations of the approximate time frame for outreach activities and shall cooperate with operators of farm labor camps at which farmworkers are housed in assuring compliance with all pertinent laws and ordinances, including those related to trespass and harassment.

However, to the extent permitted by applicable law, legal aid programs receiving funds appropriated in this act shall, upon request, provide information on their activities to the department and to legislators for purposes of monitoring compliance with authorizing legislation and this subsection.

of this subsection, allocated classroom teachers shall be equal to the number
of certificated instructional staff units allocated under subsection (2) of
this section, multiplied by the ratio between the number of actual basic
education certificated teachers and the number of actual basic education
certificated instructional staff reported state‑wide for the 1994-95
school year.
(8) Any school district board of directors may petition the superintendent of public instruction by submission of a resolution adopted in a public meeting to reduce or delay any portion of its basic education allocation for any school year. The superintendent of public instruction shall approve such reduction or delay if it does not impair the district's financial condition. Any delay shall not be for more than two school years. Any reduction or delay shall have no impact on levy authority pursuant to RCW 84.52.0531 and local effort assistance pursuant to chapter 28A.500 RCW.

(11) If two or more school districts consolidate and each district was receiving additional basic education formula staff units pursuant to subsection (2)(b) through (h) of this section, the following shall apply:
(a) For three school years following consolidation, the number of basic education formula staff units shall not be less than the number of basic education formula staff units received by the districts in the school year prior to the consolidation; and
(b) For the fourth through eighth school years following consolidation, the difference between the basic education formula staff units received by the districts for the school year prior to consolidation and the basic education formula staff units after consolidation pursuant to subsection (2)(a) through (h) of this section shall be reduced in increments of twenty percent per year.
(12) In determining the state-wide uniform rate for running start students under RCW 28A.600.310 the superintendent of public instruction shall enhance the state basic education allocation per student by 5 percent. The additional 5 percent may be retained by school districts to sustain a well-rounded high school curriculum. The 5 percent is in addition to the 7 percent which may be retained by school districts to cover administrative and related costs of the program.

The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The general fund‑-state appropriation includes such funds as are necessary for the remaining months of the 1994‑95 school year.
(2) In recognition of the need for increased flexibility at the local district level to facilitate the provision of appropriate education to children with disabilities, and the need for substantive educational reform for a significant portion of the school population, the funding formula for special education is modified. These changes result from a 1994 study and recommendations by the institute for public policy and the legislative budget committee, aided by the office of the superintendent of public instruction and the statewide task force for the development of special education funding alternatives. The new formula is for allocation purposes only and is not intended to prescribe or imply any particular pattern of special education service delivery other than that contained in a properly formulated, locally determined, individualized education program.
(3) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on two categories, the mandatory special education program for special education students ages three to twenty-one and the optional birth through age two program for developmentally delayed infants and toddlers. The superintendent shall review current state eligibility criteria for the fourteen special education categories and consider changes which would reduce assessment time and administrative costs associated with the special education program.
(4) For the 1995-96 and 1996-97 school years, the superintendent shall distribute state funds to each district based on the sum of:
(a) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, times the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, times 1.15; and
(b) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment times the enrollment percent, times the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student times 0.9309.
(5) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
