Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) is considering rule making to allow OSPI flexibility to disburse state funding assistance for school district projects which are also receiving small district modernization grant funds to assist school districts in minimizing project financing costs and provide additional time for a school district to secure sufficient local funding to meet its local funding obligations.

Process for Developing New Rule: Early solicitation of feedback and recommendations respecting new or amended rules, and consideration of the comments and recommendations in the course of drafting rules.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Scott Black, OSPI, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504, phone 360-742-4028, TTY 360-664-3631, email schoolfacilitiesrules@k12.wa.us, website k12.wa.us.
