PERMANENT RULES

SUPERINTENDENT OF

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

[ Filed April 23, 2013, 4:26 p.m. , effective May 24, 2013 ]

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

     Purpose: The state board of education recently changed the definition of a high school credit from one hundred fifty hours seat time to a performance-based definition. WAC 392-410-417 Temporary exemption from credit requirements, was developed to allow those schools using a performance-based system or on a four or five period day to seek an exemption from the seat time definition.

     Since the seat time definition no longer exists, the WAC is no longer needed. WAC 180-51-050 was amended by the state board of education, redefining the definition of a high school credit to performance-based rather than the one hundred fifty hour credit definition.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 392-410-417 Temporary exemption from credit requirements.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28A.655.180.

      Adopted under notice filed as WSR 13-06-032 on February 28, 2013.
