WSR 16-06-124 PERMANENT RULES SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION [Filed March 2, 2016, 10:15 a.m., effective April 2, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The revision to WAC 392-121-124 Full-time equivalent enrollment for work based learning, would allow work based learning provided by a state-approved skill center program to be claimed for enhanced skill center vocational funding.
Skill centers providing work based learning currently cannot claim students who are enrolled in work based learning for state-funded enhanced skill center vocational funding. This revision would allow work based learning enrollment to be claimed for this enhanced funding. Additionally, this change would allow the host district of the skill center to claim nonresident students who reside in a district that is part of the skill center cooperative without having to complete an interdistrict agreement for each nonresident student.

WAC 392-121-124 Full-time equivalent enrollment for work based learning.
For work based learning provided pursuant to WAC 392-410-315 or by charter schools, a student's full-time equivalent shall be determined as follows:
(1) For cooperative work based learning experience, in accordance with WAC 392-410-315 (1)(g), divide the student's hours of work experience for the month by two hundred; for example: Forty hours of cooperative work experience equals two tenths of a full-time equivalent (40 ÷ 200 = 0.20). For instructional work based learning experience, in accordance with WAC 392-410-315 (1)(f) and 296-125-043(4), divide the student's enrolled hours of work experience for the month by one hundred; for example: Twenty hours of instructional work experience equals two tenths of a full-time equivalent (20 ÷ 100 = 0.20). Enrollment exclusions in WAC 392-121-108 apply to instructional work based learning enrolled hours.
(2) Estimated or scheduled hours of cooperative work based learning experience may be used in determining a student's full-time equivalent on an enrollment count date: Provided, That the combined monthly hours reported for the school year shall not exceed the student's actual hours of cooperative work based learning experience documented on the student's work records and maintained by the school district or charter school for audit purposes.
(3) Work based learning provided as part of a state-approved vocational education program qualifies for enhanced vocational funding and may be included in determining a student's vocational full-time equivalent enrollment.
(4) Work based learning provided as part of a state-approved skill center program qualifies for enhanced skill center vocational funding and may be included in determining a student's skill center vocational full-time equivalent enrollment.
(5) No more than three hundred sixty hours of cooperative work based learning may be claimed for funding for each credit a student pursues as reported on the student's transcript. No more than one hundred eighty hours of instructional work based learning may be claimed for funding for each credit a student pursues as reported on the student's transcript.
(((5))) (6) Funding may be claimed only for work based learning hours that occur after the work based learning plan, work based agreement, program orientation and new employee orientation, as defined in WAC 392-410-315, are completed.
