WSR 11-08-039 EXPEDITED RULES
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
[ Filed April 4, 2011, 2:18 p.m. ] Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Repealing chapter 392-200 WAC, School personnel -- Employment discrimination. The substantive portions of chapter 392-200 WAC, School personnel -- Employment discrimination, have been incorporated into chapter 392-190 WAC without material change. This rule making would repeal chapter 392-190 WAC to eliminate duplication.
NOTICE THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Yvonne Ryans, Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504-7200 , AND RECEIVED BY June 6, 2011.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: In developing rules to implement chapter 28A.642 RCW, 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.
Reasons Supporting Proposal:
? To include all rules implementing chapters 28A.640 and 28A.642 RCW regarding discrimination in public schools in one chapter of the WAC.? Because the adoption of substantively identical amendments in chapter 392-190 WAC governs the same activity as WAC 392-200-003 through 392-200-020, those rules are no longer necessary and have been made redundant. They therefore meet the criteria for repeal set forth in RCW 34.05.353(2).
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.640.020 and 28A.642.020.
Statute Being Implemented: Chapters 28A.640 and 28A.642 RCW.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Office of superintendent of public instruction, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Yvonne Ryans, OSPI, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504-7200, (360) 725-6162.
