Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Applications for safety net funds shall demonstrate capacity
				  for safety net awards as follows:
(1)
				Application worksheet A shall demonstrate a fiscal capacity in excess of all
				available revenue to the applicant for special education, including state and
				federal revenue, program income generated by such state and/or federally funded
				special education programs, and all carryover of state and federal special
				education revenue.
(2) Awards shall
				not exceed the potential capacity for safety net funding on the worksheet
				A.
(3) Beginning with the 2007-08
				school year, worksheets submitted with safety net applications must reflect the
				full cost method of accounting, pursuant to section 501 (1)(k), chapter 372,
				Laws of 2006.
(4) The safety net
				oversight committee may revise the applicant's worksheet A as submitted for
				errors or omissions or more current information.
(5) The applicant shall provide clarifying
				information at the request of the state oversight committee. Any information
				specifically requested by the committee on a case-by-case basis during the
				initial review (and included with the office of superintendent of public
				instruction conditional award letter) and provided by the applicant within the
				requested timeline will be considered during final safety net application
				reviews. There is no obligation for the committee to request additional
				information and the presumption is on the applicant to submit a complete and
				accurate initial application.
(6)
				After the close of the school year, the applicant's worksheet A used to
				determine capacity for an award may be reviewed against the actual final school
				year enrollments, all available revenues, and legitimate expenditures reported
				by the applicant. Based upon the results of this review the safety net
				allocation for the school year may be adjusted or recovered if the awards or a
				portion of the safety net awards exceeded the demonstrated capacity for funding
				based upon consideration of all available revenues and legitimate
				expenditures.
(7) In accordance
				with the state of Washington
Accounting Manual for Public School
				Districts
and statutory federal language, potential capacity for
				safety net awards shall not include legal fees, court costs, or other costs
				associated with a cause of action brought on behalf of a child to ensure a free
				appropriate public education.
