(1) Following its monitoring of a school district or public charter school under WAC
392-190-076, the office of superintendent of public instruction must notify the district or charter school of any findings of noncompliance with this chapter, chapters
28A.640 and
28A.642 RCW, or the guidelines adopted under WAC
392-190-005. This notification of noncompliance must initiate a process of correction, verification, and validation to ensure that the noncompliance is corrected within a compliance period identified by the office of superintendent of public instruction. The compliance period must be no longer than one year from the identification of noncompliance. If noncompliance is systemic in nature, a systemic corrective action plan will be required. The school district or public charter school will have thirty calendar days after its receipt of the notice of noncompliance to:
(a) Accept the findings contained in the notification of noncompliance;
(b) Provide the office of superintendent of public instruction with supplemental information that may serve as a basis for amending the notification of noncompliance; or
(c) Provide any revisions to the proposed corrective action plan.
(2) If the school district or public charter school provides the office of superintendent of public instruction with supplemental information, the office of superintendent of public instruction must respond to the school district or charter school with a final monitoring report within thirty calendar days after receipt of the supplemental information.
(3) If the school district or public charter school does not timely address the identified noncompliance with corrective actions, the superintendent of public instruction may, at his or her discretion, undertake actions to ensure the school district's or charter school's compliance. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, referring the school district or public charter school to appropriate state or federal agencies empowered to order compliance with the law, or the initiation of sanctions or corrective measures under WAC
392-190-080.
