Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Approved online
			 providers that fail to comply with the conditions of approval in WAC
			 392-502-050, may be subject to
			 rescindment of approval.
(2)
			 Process for rescindment.
(a) The
			 superintendent of public instruction or his or her designee will notify an
			 online provider when there is substantial evidence that the online provider is
			 not meeting one or more of the approval conditions and that the superintendent
			 is considering rescindment. The notification will be in writing and will state
			 the specific areas of concern.
(b)
			 The online provider will be invited to submit a corrective action plan with a
			 timeline to address the specific areas of concern. The corrective action plan
			 must be submitted within fifteen business days of the superintendent's
			 notification. If no corrective action plan is received by the superintendent of
			 public instruction or his or her designee, the provider's approval will be
			 rescinded.
(c) The superintendent
			 of public instruction will consider the corrective action plan and determine
			 whether the plan satisfactorily addresses the specific areas of concern,
			 whether additional actions are necessary, or whether the plan is substantially
			 incomplete and approval must be immediately rescinded. If a corrective action
			 plan is required because of the provider's failure to meet performance targets
			 as specified in WAC
			 392-502-030, the corrective
			 action plan must include a rate of growth to achieve the performance targets.
			 The corrective action plan may take into account factors including, but not
			 limited to, the specific performance targets that were not met and the
			 provider's student demographics. Before making this decision, the
			 superintendent or his or her designee will provide an opportunity for the
			 online provider to clarify and adjust its plan.
(d) Recognizing the serious nature of
			 rescindment and its potential impact on students, districts and providers, the
			 superintendent of public instruction or his or her designee will only rescind
			 approvals if he or she finds that the online provider is unwilling to take the
			 necessary corrective actions to bring the courses/programs in compliance with
			 the approval assurances and criteria. If the superintendent of public
			 instruction or his or her designee determines that an online provider's
			 approval must be rescinded, the implementation of the rescindment shall, to the
			 greatest extent possible, be timed to prevent unnecessary disruption to the
			 education of the students.
(e) The
			 superintendent of public instruction reserves the right to immediately rescind
			 approval of any provider where conditions exist that jeopardize academic or
			 fiscal integrity or compromise the health and safety of students or
			 staff.
