(a) The school board president or chairperson, and
(b) The superintendent of the school district.
(2) State board staff review.
(a) State board of education staff shall review each school
district's program ((data report and such supplemental state
reports as staff deems necessary)) assurance form, conduct
on-site monitoring visits of randomly selected school districts,
as needed and subject to funding support, and prepare
recommendations and ((supporting)) reports for presentation to
the state board of education: Provided, That, if a school
district's initial program ((data report and any other state
reports considered do)) assurance form does not establish
compliance with ((these)) the basic education ((allocation
entitlement)) program approval requirements, the district shall
be provided the opportunity to explain the deficiency ((and
provide supplemental data)) or deficiencies. School districts
which foresee that they will not be able to comply with ((these
entitlement)) the program approval requirements, or that are
deemed by the state board to be in noncompliance, may petition
for a waiver on the basis of ((the limited ground of))
substantial lack of classroom space as set forth in WAC 180-16-225 and instructional hours offering requirements under

of public instruction. In addition, a certification of
compliance shall be effective tentatively for the succeeding
school year until such time as the state board takes its annual
action certifying compliance or noncompliance with ((these
entitlement)) the program approval requirements.
(c) A certification of noncompliance shall be effective
until program compliance is assured by the school district to the
satisfaction of state board of education staff, subject to review
by the state board. Basic education allocation funds shall be
deducted from the basic education allocation of a school district
that has been certified as being in noncompliance unless such
district has received a waiver((, pursuant to WAC 180-16-225,))
from the state board for such noncompliance, pursuant to WAC 180-16-225 or 180-18-030, or assurance of program compliance is

in noncompliance and is accepted by the state board.
(d) The withholding of basic education allocation funding
from a school district shall not occur for a noncompliance
((provided that)) if the school district has ((been given a
reasonable amount of time to remediate)) remediated the

noncompliance(s), not to exceed ((forty)) sixty school business
days per noncompliance as specified in (d) of this subsection.
(ii) A listing of all the noncompliance areas and the necessary terms that must be satisfied in each area in order for the school district to gain compliance status. This listing also shall specify additional deadlines for the accomplishment of the stated terms if different from the final deadline as specified in subsection (1) of this section.
(iii) A closing statement specifying that a school district's failure to remediate a noncompliance by the determined deadline shall result in the immediate withholding of the district's basic education allocation funding by the superintendent of public instruction.
(iv) The date and the signatures of the superintendent of
the school district, ((or his/her designee)) the chair of the
district's board of directors, and the superintendent of public

compliance agreement within the designated amount of time, the
superintendent of public instruction shall withhold state funds

board of education the decision of noncompliance by the state
board of education ((staff)). Such appeal shall be limited to
the interpretation and application of these rules ((and
regulations)) by ((such superintendent of public instruction))
