PERMANENT RULES

[Filed September 7, 2018, 3:02 p.m.]

Due to an inadvertent clerical error the published version of WSR 18-17-031 incorrectly stated that the document was filed on August 7 when it was actually filed on August 6. The corrected form including the correct filing and effective dates are shown below.

[Filed August 6, 2018, 3:14 p.m., effective September 6, 2018]

Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

Purpose: The purpose of this final rule is to update provisions of chapter 392-700 WAC, Dropout reengagement, to meet the requirements of RCW 28A.150.260 (13)(c) and provide clarification for open doors programs.

Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 392-700-035, 392-700-065, 392-700-137, 392-700-155, and 392-700-175.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.175.010, 28A.175.115.

Adopted under notice filed as WSR 18-11-128 on May 23, 2018.

Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: The final rules amend proposed WAC 392-700-137 (1)(b)(i), omitting the phrase "as the student has demonstrated competency aligned to the common core standards." This change does not substantively alter the requirement that students be awarded core academic subject credit for passing a standardized high school equivalency subject matter certificate. Rather, it simply deletes language that was intended to clarify the requirement. The amendment was made because Washington state[d] the intended clarification is best addressed in guidance.
