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

     Purpose: In developing rules to implement chapter 28A.642 RCW, the office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) has incorporated the substantive portions of chapter 392-200 WAC regarding employment discrimination and affirmative action into chapter 392-190 WAC. The inclusion of employment discrimination and affirmative action provisions into chapter 392-190 WAC has been vetted through the public hearing and public input process. Because these provisions are now located in chapter 392-190 WAC, OSPI is repealing chapter 392-200 WAC to eliminate the duplication of these rules. Repealing these rules does not materially change the responsibilities of OSPI or school districts.
