This section adds a new section to an existing chapter 28A.600. Here is the modified chapter for context.
Subject to the availability of amounts appropriated for this specific purpose, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall create and administer a grant program for the purpose of providing funds to school districts, charter schools, and state-tribal compact schools to cover a portion of the credit tuition fee for college in the high school program courses under RCW 28A.600.287.
School districts, charter schools, and state-tribal compact schools receiving funds under this grant program must cover the per college credit tuition fee for a program course either at the full per credit amount set under RCW 28A.600.287 or at the amount of $35 per credit, whichever is lower.
The office of the superintendent of public instruction may adopt rules necessary for the implementation of this section.
If specific funding for the purposes of section 2 of this act, referencing section 2 of this act by bill or chapter number and section number, is not provided by June 30, 2022, in the omnibus appropriations act, section 2 of this act is null and void.
