Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) If the superintendent of public
			 instruction and the school district board of directors are unable to come to an
			 agreement on a Level II required action plan within ninety calendar days of the
			 completion of the needs assessment and review conducted under subsection (2) of
			 this section, the superintendent of public instruction shall complete and
			 submit a Level II required action plan directly to the state board of education
			 for approval. Such submissions must be presented and approved by the board
			 prior start of the school year of implementation.
(2) The school district board of directors
			 may submit a request to the required action plan review panel for
			 reconsideration of the superintendent's Level II required action plan within
			 ten calendar days of the submission of the plan to the state board of
			 education. The state board of education will delay decision on the Level II
			 required action plan for twenty calendar days from the date of the request, in
			 order to receive any recommendations and comment provided by the review panel,
			 which shall be convened expeditiously by the superintendent of public
			 instruction as required, pursuant to
			 RCW
			    28A.657.070(2)(c). After the
			 state board of education considers the recommendations of the required action
			 review panel, the decision of the board regarding the Level II required action
			 plan is final and not subject to further reconsideration. The board's decision
			 must be made by public vote, with an opportunity for public comment provided at
			 the same meeting.
(3) If changes to
			 a collective bargaining agreement are necessary to implement a Level II
			 required action plan, the procedures prescribed under
			 RCW
			    28A.657.050 shall apply. A designee of the
			 superintendent shall participate in the discussions among the parties to the
			 collective bargaining agreement.
(4) In Level II required action, the
			 superintendent of public instruction shall work collaboratively with the local
			 board of education. However, if the superintendent of public instruction finds
			 that the Level II required action plan is not being implemented as specified,
			 including the implementation of any binding conditions within the plan, the
			 superintendent may direct actions that must be taken by school district
			 personnel and the board of directors to implement the Level II required action
			 plan. If necessary, the superintendent of public instruction may exercise
			 authority under
			 RCW
			    28A.505.120 regarding allocation of
			 funds.
(5) If the superintendent of
			 public instruction seeks to make material changes to the Level II required
			 action plan at any time, those changes must be submitted to the state board of
			 education for approval at a public meeting where an opportunity for public
			 comment is provided.
