effective 9/1/04)
WAC 392-121-124
Full-time equivalent enrollment for work
based learning.
For work based learning provided pursuant to
WAC ((180-50-315)) 392-410-315, a student's full-time
equivalent shall be determined as follows:
(1) For cooperative work based learning experience, in
accordance with WAC ((180-50-315)) 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 ((180-50-315)) 392-410-315
(1)(f) and WAC 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 for audit purposes. Instructional and cooperative work based learning experience during June of the regular school year shall be included in the May enrollment count.
(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) 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) 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 ((180-50-315)) 392-410-315, are
completed.
