Wash. Admin. Code § 392-125-036 - Core services funding formula
(1)
The superintendent of public instruction shall biennially review and adopt the
core services funding formula for educational service districts based upon
RCW
28A.310.340,
28A.310.350 and the
considerations set forth in this section.
(2) The core services funding formula shall
be established to identify basic, uniform services to be provided to school
districts and to the superintendent of public instruction by educational
service districts.
(3) The core
funding formula provides for the equalization of services by educational
service districts based on geographical features, number and size of districts
served, and facility requirements.
(4) All educational service districts shall
be allocated the following positions without regard to size:
(a) Superintendent;
(b) Executive secretary;
(c) Receptionist;
(d) Internal accountant;
(e) Secretary; and
(f) Certification clerk.
(5) All other positions in addition to those
specified in subsection (4) of this section, both professional and clerical,
shall be allocated on the basis of workload, e.g., total number of school
districts, number of second-class school districts, number of on-line computer
reports required. These positions shall be allocated to the educational service
districts in the following manner:
(a) To
provide fiscal office support to school districts most in need, allocations
shall be based on the number of second-class school districts served.
(b) In the case of terminal operators,
allocation shall be on a workload basis associated with the amount of hours
required to process state reports.
(c) The level of curriculum and instruction
services provided by educational service districts shall be based on the number
of school districts served, regardless of district enrollment.
(6) Travel expenses shall be based
on a mileage factor calculated for each educational service district. The
factor shall be calculated by measuring the distance between each school
district headquarters and the respective educational service district
headquarters and obtaining the total mileage for the educational service
district. The total mileage shall be multiplied by the number of professional
staff allocated to the respective educational service district. The product
shall then be multiplied by a standard dollar amount to be determined by the
superintendent of public instruction after consultation with the Educational
Service District Superintendents' Association.
(7) The expenses of board members shall be
provided for in the formula by allocating a dollar amount to be determined by
the superintendent of public instruction after consultation with the
Educational Service District Superintendents' Association for each educational
service district board member.
(8)
Maintenance and operation expenditures shall be provided in the formula by
allocating a dollar amount to be determined by the superintendent of public
instruction after consultation with the Educational Service District
Superintendents' Association for each core staff position.
(9) The annual housing costs for each
educational service district shall be agreed upon by the educational service
district superintendents and approved by the superintendent of public
instruction or his or her designee.
(10) Total compensation of core positions
shall be allocated in accordance with the state biennial appropriations
act.
(11) Unique situations may
dictate exceptions to the formula which shall be recommended by the Educational
Service District Superintendents' Association and approved by the
superintendent of public instruction or his or her designee.
(12) The elements set forth in subsections
(1) through (11) of this section shall:
(a)
Serve as basis for preparing biennial budget requests to the regular sessions
of the Washington state legislature; and
(b) Be considered in the approval or
disapproval of the annual budgets of the educational service districts by the
superintendent of public instruction.
