PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
[Filed August 1, 2018, 11:37 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: The office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) is considering making changes to WAC 392-121-415 to remove language which reduces state basic education apportionment payments by proceeds from the sale, rental or lease of stone, minerals, timber, forest products, other crops and matter, and improvements from or on tax title real property managed by a county pursuant to chapter 36.35 RCW.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 42.56.070, 42.56.120.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: OSPI is considering the changes to ensure that local revenue does not offset costs of basic education as prescribed in EHB 2242 (2017).
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting T. J. Kelly, OSPI, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504, phone 360-725-6301, fax 360-664-3683, TTY 360-664-3631, email thomas.kelly@k12.wa.us, web site www.k12.wa.us.
