PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

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

Purpose: The office of superintendent of public instruction is repealing chapter 392-109 WAC because the rules are no longer applicable due to a change in statute.

As WSSDA is now responsible for the administration of these elections and establishing related procedures, the rules under chapter 392-109 WAC are no longer valid.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.305.021.
