NEW SECTION
WAC 392-117-038
Failure to meet CEDARS submission
requirements.
School districts, charter schools, tribal
schools, and other local education agencies receiving state
funds who fail to meet CEDARS reporting requirements as
outlined in the annual CEDARS data manual are subject to the
following course of action. Upon the superintendent of public
instruction's determination that a local education agency has
failed to meet CEDARS reporting requirements, the
superintendent will provide notice of the determination to the
local education agency. The local education agency will have
ninety days from the receipt of the notice to correctly report
CEDARS data. If the local education agency's failure to meet
CEDARS reporting requirements is not corrected within
forty-five days of the superintendent's first notice, the
superintendent will provide a second notice to the local
education agency. The second notice will describe the
superintendent's determination and will identify the deadline
for corrective action. If the local education agency does not
correctly report CEDARS data within ninety days of its receipt
of the superintendent's first notice, the superintendent may
withhold the local education agency's subsequent monthly
apportionment payment until CEDARS reporting requirements are
met.
