THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES. (1) Appropriations made in
this act to the department of social and health services shall initially be
allotted as required by this act. Subsequent allotment modifications shall not
include transfers of moneys between sections of this act except as expressly
provided in this act, nor shall allotment modifications permit moneys that are
provided solely for a specified purpose to be used for other than that purpose,
except as expressly provided in subsection (3) of this section.
(2)
The department of social and health services shall not initiate any services
that will require expenditure of state general fund moneys unless expressly
authorized in this act or other law. The department may seek, receive, and
spend, under RCW 43.79.260 through 43.79.282, federal moneys not anticipated in
this act as long as the federal funding does not require expenditure of state
moneys for the program in excess of amounts anticipated in this act. If the
department receives unanticipated unrestricted federal moneys, those moneys
shall be spent for services authorized in this act or in any other legislation
providing appropriation authority, and an equal amount of appropriated state
general fund moneys shall lapse. Upon the lapsing of any moneys under this
subsection, the office of financial management shall notify the legislative
fiscal committees. As used in this subsection, "unrestricted federal
moneys" includes block grants and other funds that federal law does not
require to be spent on specifically defined projects or matched on a formula
basis by state funds.
(3)(a)
The appropriations to the department of social and health services in this act
shall be expended for the programs and in the amounts specified in this act. However,
after May 1, 2002, unless specifically prohibited by this act, the department
may transfer general fund‑-state appropriations for fiscal year 2002
among programs after approval by the director of financial management.
However, the department shall not transfer state moneys that are provided
solely for a specified purpose except as expressly provided in subsection
(3)(b) of this section.
(b)
To the extent that transfers under subsection (3)(a) of this section are
insufficient to fund actual expenditures in excess of fiscal year 2002 caseload
forecasts and utilization assumptions in the medical assistance, long-term
care, foster care, adoption support, and child support programs, the department
may transfer state moneys that are provided solely for a specified purpose
after approval by the director of financial management.
(c)
The director of financial management shall notify the appropriate fiscal
committees of the senate and house of representatives in writing prior to
approving any allotment modifications.
(4)
In the event the department receives additional unrestricted federal funds or
achieves savings in excess of that anticipated in this act, the department
shall use up to $5,000,000 of such funds to initiate a pilot project providing
integrated support services to homeless individuals needing mental health
services, alcohol or substance abuse treatment, medical care, or who demonstrate
community safety concerns. Before such a pilot project is initiated, the
department shall notify the fiscal committees of the legislature of the plans
for such a pilot project including the source of funds to be used.

policy council and network grants. Reductions to network grants shall be
allocated so as to maintain current funding levels, to the greatest extent

$5,604,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely
for reducing the average caseload level per case-carrying social worker. Average
caseload reductions are intended to increase the amount of time social workers
spend in direct contact with the children, families, and foster parents
involved with their open cases. The department shall use some of the funds
provided in several local offices to increase staff that support case-carrying
social workers in ways that will allow social workers to increase direct
contact time with children, families, and foster parents. To achieve the goal
of reaching an average caseload ratio of 1:24 by the end of fiscal year 2003,
the department shall develop a plan for redeploying 30 FTEs to case-carrying
social worker and support positions from other areas in the children and family

for foster parent retention and stability of foster placements.
(7)
$1,050,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided solely
for increasing kinship care placements for children who otherwise would likely
be placed in foster care. These funds shall be used for extraordinary costs
incurred by relatives at the time of placement, or for extraordinary costs
incurred by relatives after placement if such costs would likely cause a
disruption in the kinship care placement. $50,000 of the funds provided shall
be contracted to the Washington institute for public policy to conduct a study
of kinship care placements. The study shall examine the prevalence and needs
of families who are raising related children and shall compare services and
policies of Washington state with other states that have a higher rate of
kinship care placements in lieu of foster care placements. The study shall
identify possible changes in services and policies that are likely to increase
appropriate kinship care placements.

a plan submitted by the department to achieve a higher rate of federal earnings
in the foster care program. That plan shall also be submitted to the fiscal

foster care, the department shall increase the basic rate for foster care to an
average of $420 per month on July 1, 2001((, and to an average of $440 per
month on July 1, 2002)). The department shall use the remaining funds

increases and reimbursement decisions for foster care and adoption support
cases such that the cost per case for family foster care, group care, receiving
homes, and adoption support does not exceed the amount assumed in the projected
caseload expenditures plus the amounts provided in this subsection.

APPROPRIATION................. $ ((731,863,000))
758,195,000
The
appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and
limitations:
(a)
Regional support networks shall use portions of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for implementation of working agreements with the vocational
rehabilitation program which will maximize the use of federal funding for
vocational programs.
(b)
From the general fund‑-state appropriations in this subsection, the
secretary of social and health services shall assure that regional support
networks reimburse the aging and adult services program for the general fund‑-state
cost of medicaid personal care services that enrolled regional support network
consumers use because of their psychiatric disability.
(c)
$388,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002,
(($1,927,000)) $2,829,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2003, and (($2,349,000)) $3,157,000
of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely for
development and operation of community residential and support services for
persons whose treatment needs constitute substantial barriers to community
placement and who no longer require active psychiatric treatment at an
inpatient hospital level of care, no longer meet the criteria for inpatient
involuntary commitment, and who are clinically ready for discharge from a state
psychiatric hospital. In the event that enough patients are not transitioned
or diverted from the state hospitals to close at least two hospital wards by July
2002, and ((two)) four additional wards by April 2003, a
proportional share of these funds shall be transferred to the appropriations in
subsection (2) of this section to support continued care of the patients in the
state hospitals. Primary responsibility and accountability for provision of
appropriate community support for persons placed with these funds shall reside
with the mental health program and the regional support networks, with
partnership and active support from the alcohol and substance abuse and from
the aging and adult services programs. The department shall negotiate
performance-based incentive contracts ((with those regional support networks
which have the most viable plans for providing appropriate community support
services for significant numbers of persons from their area who would otherwise
be served in the state hospitals)) to provide appropriate community
support services for individuals leaving the state hospitals under this
subsection. The department shall first seek to contract with regional support
networks before offering a contract to any other party. The funds
appropriated in this subsection shall not be considered "available
resources" as defined in RCW 71.24.025 and are not subject to the standard
allocation formula applied in accordance with RCW 71.24.035(13)(a).
(d) At
least $1,000,000 of the federal block grant funding appropriated in this
subsection shall be used for (i) initial development, training, and operation
of the community support teams which will work with long-term state hospital
residents prior and subsequent to their return to the community; and (ii)
development of support strategies which will reduce the unnecessary and
excessive use of state and local hospitals for short-term crisis stabilization
services. Such strategies may include training and technical assistance to
community long-term care and substance abuse providers; the development of
diversion beds and stabilization support teams; examination of state hospital
policies regarding admissions; and the development of new contractual standards
to assure that the statutory requirement that 85 percent of short-term
detentions be managed locally is being fulfilled. The department shall report
to the fiscal and policy committees of the legislature on the results of these
efforts by November 1, 2001, and again by November 1, 2002.
(e)
The department is authorized to implement a new formula for allocating
available resources among the regional support networks. The distribution
formula shall use the number of persons eligible for the state medical programs
funded under chapter 74.09 RCW as the measure of the requirement for the number
of acutely mentally ill, chronically mentally ill, severely emotionally
disturbed children, and seriously disturbed in accordance with RCW
71.24.035(13)(a). The new formula shall be phased in over a period of no less
than six years. Furthermore, the department shall increase the medicaid
capitation rates which a regional support network would otherwise receive under
the formula by an amount sufficient to assure that total funding allocated to
the regional support network in fiscal year 2002 increases by up to ((2.1))
3.5 percent over the amount actually paid to that regional support
network in fiscal year 2001, and by up to an additional ((2.3)) 5.0
percent in fiscal year 2003, if total funding to the regional support network
would otherwise increase by less than those percentages under the new formula,
and provided that the nonfederal share of the higher medicaid payment rate is
provided by the regional support network from local funds.
(f)
Within funds appropriated in this subsection, the department shall contract
with the Clark county regional support network for development and operation of
a project demonstrating collaborative methods for providing intensive mental
health services in the school setting for severely emotionally disturbed
children who are medicaid eligible. Project services are to be delivered by
teachers and teaching assistants who qualify as, or who are under the
supervision of, mental health professionals meeting the requirements of chapter
275-57 WAC. The department shall increase medicaid payments to the regional
support network by the amount necessary to cover the necessary and allowable
costs of the demonstration, not to exceed the upper payment limit specified for
the regional support network in the department's medicaid waiver agreement with
the federal government after meeting all other medicaid spending requirements
assumed in this subsection. The regional support network shall provide the
department with (i) periodic reports on project service levels, methods, and
outcomes; and (ii) an intergovernmental transfer equal to the state share of
the increased medicaid payment provided for operation of this project.
(g)
The health services account appropriation is provided solely for implementation
of strategies which the department and the affected regional support networks
conclude will best assure continued availability of community-based inpatient
psychiatric services in all areas of the state. Such strategies may include,
but are not limited to, emergency contracts for continued operation of
inpatient facilities otherwise at risk of closure because of demonstrated
uncompensated care; start-up grants for development of evaluation and treatment
facilities; and increases in the rate paid for inpatient psychiatric services
for medically indigent and/or general assistance for the unemployed patients.
The funds provided in this subsection must be: (i) Prioritized for use in
those areas of the state which are at greatest risk of lacking sufficient
inpatient psychiatric treatment capacity, rather than being distributed on a
formula basis; (ii) prioritized for use by those hospitals which do not receive
low-income disproportionate share hospital payments as of the date of
application for funding; and (iii) matched on a one-quarter local,
three-quarters state basis by funding from the regional support network or
networks in the area in which the funds are expended. Payments from the amount
provided in this subsection shall not be made to any provider that has not
agreed that, except for prospective rate increases, the payment shall offset,
on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any liability that may be established against, or
any settlement that may be agreed to by the state, regarding the rate of state
reimbursement for inpatient psychiatric care. The funds provided in this
subsection shall not be considered "available resources" as defined
in RCW 71.24.025 and are not subject to the distribution formula established
pursuant to RCW 71.24.035.
(h)
The department shall assure that no regional support network uses more than 8.0
percent of the state and federal funds received from appropriations in this
subsection for regional support network administration.
(i)
The department shall assure that each regional support network increases
spending on direct client services in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 by at least
the same percentage as the total state, federal, and local funds allocated to
the regional support network in those years exceeds the amounts allocated to it
in fiscal year 2001.
(j)
The department shall reduce state funding otherwise payable to a regional support
network in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 by the full amount by which the regional
support network's reserves and fund balances as of December 31, 2001, exceed
the required risk reserve for that regional support network. The required
reserve amount shall be calculated by applying the risk reserve percentage
specified in the department's contract with the regional support network to the
total state and federal revenues for which the regional support network would
otherwise be eligible in accordance with this subsection. As used in this
subsection, "reserves" does not include capital project reserves
established in accordance with state accounting and reporting standards before
January 1, 2002.
(k)
The department shall cooperate with the department of community, trade, and
economic development to develop a proposal to create a structurally and
functionally independent mental health ombudsman program. The proposal shall
include recommendations about the statutory and administrative changes needed
to establish a structurally and functionally independent ombudsman system. The
departments shall report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the
legislature by November 1, 2002.

barriers to community placement and who no longer require active psychiatric
treatment at an inpatient hospital level of care, no longer meet the criteria
for inpatient involuntary commitment, and who are clinically ready for
discharge from a state psychiatric hospital. No such patient is to move from
the hospital until a team of community professionals has become familiar with
the person and their treatment plan; assessed their strengths, preferences, and
needs; arranged a safe, clinically-appropriate, and stable place for them to
live; assured that other needed medical, behavioral, and social services are in
place; and is contracted to monitor the person's progress on an ongoing basis.

hospital patients are able to return to their area of origin, and that
placements are not concentrated in proximity to the hospitals.
(d)
For each month subsequent to the month in which a state hospital bed has been
closed in accordance with (c) of this subsection, the mental health program
shall transfer to the medical assistance program state funds equal to the state
share of the monthly per capita expenditure amount estimated for categorically
needy-disabled persons in the most recent forecast of medical assistance
expenditures.

APPROPRIATION................. $ ((870,932,000))
895,796,000
The
appropriations in this subsection are subject to the following conditions and
limitations:
(a)
The legislature finds that comprehensive reform of the developmental
disabilities program is required. Recent audits and litigation indicate a need
to improve the quality of program data, strengthen program and fiscal
management, and clarify the criteria and determination of eligibility for
services. Additional resources are also needed to expand access to community
services. The appropriations in this section are intended to address the most
urgent needs while strengthening program and fiscal accountability. The
department shall provide monthly progress reports to the appropriate committees
of the legislature on actions taken in three areas: The implementation of
expanded services, the development and implementation of a new home and
community based medicaid waiver, and improvements in program and fiscal
management.
(b)
$10,050,000 of the fiscal year 2003 general fund‑-state appropriation and
$3,550,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely
for expanded access to community services. A total of $7,800,000 is provided
for additional residential services for persons on the home and community based
waiver. A total of $3,600,000 is provided for family support and high school
transition. A total of $2,700,000 is provided between this subsection and
subsection (3) of this section for staffing and other costs to improve
oversight of quality of care, program management, and fiscal management. New
funding for family support and high school transition along with a portion of
existing funding for these programs shall be provided as supplemental security
income (SSI) state supplemental payments. The legislature finds that providing
cash assistance to individuals and families needing these supports promotes
self-determination and independence. It is the intent of the legislature that
the department shall comply with federal requirements to maintain aggregate
funding for SSI state supplemental payments while promoting self-determination
and independence for persons with developmental disabilities in families with
taxable incomes at or below 150 percent of median family income. Individuals
receiving family support or high school transition payments shall not become
eligible for medical assistance under RCW 74.09.510 due solely to the receipt
of SSI state supplemental payments. These amounts and the specified expansion
of community services are intended to be the fiscal component of the negotiated
settlement in the pending litigation on developmental disabilities services, ARC
v. Quasim.
(c)
The health services account appropriation and (($753,000)) $904,000
of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided solely for health
care benefits for home care workers with family incomes below 200 percent of
the federal poverty level who are employed through state contracts for twenty
hours per week or more. Premium payments for individual provider home care
workers shall be made only to the subsidized basic health plan. Home care
agencies may obtain coverage either through the basic health plan or through an
alternative plan with substantially equivalent benefits.
(((b)))
(d) $902,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2002, $3,372,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2003, and $4,056,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are
provided solely for community services for residents of residential
habilitation centers (RHCs) who are able to be adequately cared for in
community settings and who choose to live in those community settings. The department
shall ensure that the average cost per day for all program services other than
start-up costs shall not exceed $280. If the number and timing of residents
choosing to move into community settings is not sufficient to achieve the RHC
cottage consolidation plan assumed in the appropriations in subsection (2) of
this section, the department shall transfer sufficient appropriations from this
subsection to subsection (2) of this section to cover the added costs incurred
in the RHCs. The department shall report to the appropriate committees of the
legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year quarter, the number of
residents moving into community settings and the actual expenditures for all
community services to support those residents.
(((c)
$1,440,000)) (e) $1,153,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation for fiscal year 2002, (($3,041,000)) $3,054,000 of
the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003, and (($4,311,000))
$4,031,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided
solely for expanded community services for persons with developmental
disabilities who also have community protection issues or are diverted or
discharged from state psychiatric hospitals. The department shall ensure that
the average cost per day for all program services other than start-up costs
shall not exceed $275. The department shall report to the appropriate
committees of the legislature, within 45 days following each fiscal year
quarter, the number of persons served with these additional community services,
where they were residing, what kinds of services they were receiving prior to
placement, and the actual expenditures for all community services to support
these clients.
(((d)
$1,005,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002,
$2,262,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003,
and $2,588,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided
solely for increasing case/resource management resources to improve oversight
and quality of care for persons enrolled in the medicaid home and community
services waiver for persons with developmental disabilities.)) (f)
The department shall not increase total enrollment in home and community based
waivers for persons with developmental disabilities except for ((increases))
changes assumed in additional funding provided in subsections (b) ((and
(c))), (d), and (e) of this section. Prior to submitting to the
health care financing authority any additional home and community based waiver
request for persons with developmental disabilities, the department shall
submit a summary of the waiver request to the appropriate committees of the
legislature. The summary shall include eligibility criteria, program
description, enrollment projections and limits, and budget and cost
effectiveness projections that distinguish the requested waiver from other
existing or proposed waivers.
(((e)))
(g) $1,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2002 and $1,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for

complete their high school curriculum in 2001 or 2002. These services are
intended to assist with the transition to work and more independent living.

rehabilitation services matched with federal funding. In recent years, the
state general fund appropriation for employment and day programs has been
underspent. These surpluses, built into the carry forward level budget, shall
be redeployed for high school transition services.
(((f)))
(h) $369,000 of the fiscal year 2002 general fund‑-state appropriation
and $369,000 of the fiscal year 2003 general fund‑-state appropriation

year 2002, $1,734,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal
year 2003, and $5,369,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are
provided solely to increase compensation by an average of fifty cents per hour
for low-wage workers providing state-funded services to persons with
developmental disabilities. These funds, along with funding provided for
vendor rate increases, are sufficient to raise wages an average of fifty cents
and cover the employer share of unemployment and social security taxes on the
amount of the wage increase. In consultation with the statewide associations
representing such agencies, the department shall establish a mechanism for
testing the extent to which funds have been used for this purpose, and report
the results to the fiscal committees of the legislature by February 1, 2002.
(j)
$1,310,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003
and $1,207,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation are provided

achieve progress against outcome measures specified in RCW 74.08A.410. Valid
outcome measures of job retention and wage progression shall be developed and
reported quarterly to appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the
legislature for families who leave assistance, measured after 12 months, 24

progression is necessary to emphasize the legislature's goal that the WorkFirst
program succeed in helping recipients gain long-term economic independence and
not cycle on and off public assistance. The wage progression measure shall
report the median percentage increase in quarterly earnings and hourly wage
after 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. The wage progression report shall
also report the percent with earnings above one hundred percent and two hundred

employment, that there are no time limits on the receipt of work support
benefits, and that immigration or residency status will not be affected by the
receipt of benefits. These materials shall be posted in all community service
offices and distributed to families. Materials must be available in multiple
languages. When a family leaves the temporary assistance for needy families
program, receives cash diversion assistance, or withdraws a temporary
assistance for needy families application, the department of social and health
services shall educate them about the difference between cash assistance and
work support benefits and offer them the opportunity to begin or to continue
receiving work support benefits, so long as they are eligible. The department
shall provide this information through in-person interviews, over the

used by the district to employ additional classified instructional assistants
shall be converted to a certificated staff equivalent and added to the
district's actual certificated instructional staff ratio. Additional
classified instructional assistants, for the purposes of this subsection, shall
be determined using the 1989-90 school year as the base year;

pursuant to RCW 28A.150.390. School districts shall ensure that special
education students as a class receive their full share of the general
apportionment allocation accruing through sections 502 and 504 of this act. To

for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers,
and the mandatory special education program for special education eligible
students ages three to twenty-one. A "special education eligible student"
means a student receiving specially designed instruction in accordance with a
properly formulated individualized education program.
(5)(a)
For the 2001-02 and 2002-03 school years, the superintendent shall ((distribute

infants and toddlers ages birth through two, multiplied by the district's
average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied
by 1.15; and
(ii) A
district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment
multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection
(6)(b) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education
allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(b) For
purposes of this subsection, "average basic education allocation per

interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).
(b)
"Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education
annual average enrollment, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a
percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education
enrollment.
(i)
For the 2001-02 ((and the 2002-03)) school year((s)), each
district's funded enrollment percent shall be the lesser of the district's
actual enrollment percent ((for the school year for which the allocation is
being determined)) or 12.7 percent ((for the 2001-02 school year or 13.0
percent for the 2002-03 school year)).
(ii)
For the 2002-03 school year, each district's general fund‑‑state
funded special education enrollment shall be the lesser of the district's
actual enrollment percent or 12.7 percent. Increases in enrollment percent
from 12.7 percent to 13.0 percent shall be funded from the general fund‑‑federal
appropriation.
(7) At
the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which
all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are
provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be ((12.7
percent for the 2001-02 school year and 13.0 percent for the 2002-03 school
year)) calculated in accordance with subsection (6)(b) of this section,
and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district
units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation
per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather
than individual district units.
(8) Safety
net funding shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee
subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a)
A maximum of (($12,000,000)) $8,500,000 of the general fund‑-state
appropriation and a maximum of $3,500,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation for fiscal year 2002 ((and a maximum of $10,623,000 of the
general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003)) are provided
as safety net funding for districts with demonstrated needs for state special
education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (5) of this
section. ((Safety net funding shall be awarded by the state safety net
oversight committee.
(a))) (b)
The safety net oversight committee shall first consider the needs of districts
adversely affected by the 1995 change in the special education funding
formula. Awards shall be based on the lesser of the amount required to
maintain the 1994-95 state special education excess cost allocation to the
school district in aggregate or on a dollar per funded student basis.
(((b)))
(c) The committee shall then consider unmet needs for districts that can
convincingly demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education
exceed all available revenues from state funding formulas. In the
determination of need, the committee shall also consider additional available
revenues from federal and local sources. Differences in program costs
attributable to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting
practices are not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(((c)))
(d) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net
eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the
district plus one percent.
(((d)))
(e) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of
potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent
in accordance with chapter 318, Laws of 1999.

For fiscal year 2003 to the extent necessary, $12,873,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation is provided for safety net awards for districts with demonstrated
needs for state special education funding beyond the amounts provided in
subsection (5) of this section. If safety net awards exceed the amount
appropriated in this subsection (9), the superintendent shall expend all
available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need. Safety net
funds shall be awarded by the state safety net oversight committee subject to
the following conditions and limitations:
(a)
The committee shall consider unmet needs for districts that can convincingly
demonstrate that all legitimate expenditures for special education exceed all
available revenues from state funding formulas. In the determination of need,
the committee shall also consider additional available revenues from federal
and local sources. Differences in program costs attributable to district
philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are not a
legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(b)
The committee shall then consider the extraordinary high cost needs of one or
more individual special education students. Differences in costs attributable
to district philosophy, service delivery choice, or accounting practices are
not a legitimate basis for safety net awards.
(c)
The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may
not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one
percent.
(d)
Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid
eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with
chapter 318, Laws of 1999.
(e)
Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or exceptions related
to special education funding.
(f)
The superintendent may expend up to $120,000 of the amount provided from the
general fund‑-federal appropriation in this subsection (9) to provide
staff assistance to the committee in analyzing applications for safety net
funds received by the committee.
(((9)))
(10) The superintendent of public instruction may adopt such rules and
procedures as are necessary to administer the special education funding and
safety net award process. Prior to revising any standards, procedures, or
rules, the superintendent shall consult with the office of financial management
and the fiscal committees of the legislature.
(((10)))
(11) The safety net oversight committee appointed by the superintendent
of public instruction shall consist of:
(a) One
staff from the office of superintendent of public instruction;
(b)
Staff of the office of the state auditor;
(c)
Staff of the office of the financial management; and
(d) One
or more representatives from school districts or educational service districts
knowledgeable of special education programs and funding.
(((11)))
(12) To the extent necessary, (($5,500,000)) in fiscal year
2002, $2,250,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation shall be
expended for safety net funding to meet the extraordinary needs of one or more
individual special education students. If safety net awards to meet the
extraordinary needs exceed (($5,500,000)) $2,250,000 of the
general fund‑-federal appropriation, the superintendent shall expend all
available federal discretionary funds necessary to meet this need. General
fund‑-state funds shall not be expended for this purpose.
(((12)))
(13) A maximum of $678,000 may be expended from the general fund‑-state
appropriations to fund 5.43 full-time equivalent teachers and 2.1 full-time
equivalent aides at children's orthopedic hospital and medical center. This
amount is in lieu of money provided through the home and hospital allocation
and the special education program.

facilitate their successful transition out of the public school system. The
funds provided by this subsection shall be from federal discretionary grants.
(((14)))
(15) The superintendent shall maintain the percentage of federal
flow-through to school districts at 85 percent for the 2001-02 school year.
For the 2002-03 school year, the superintendent shall allocate the federal
funds as specified in this section and shall adjust federal flow-through funds
accordingly. In addition to other purposes, school districts may use
increased federal funds for high-cost students, for purchasing regional special
education services from educational service districts, and for staff
development activities particularly relating to inclusion issues.
(((15)))
(16) A maximum of $1,200,000 of the general fund‑-federal
appropriation may be expended by the superintendent for projects related to use
