RCW 28A.545.030
Purposes.
The purposes of RCW 28A.545.030 through 28A.545.110 and 84.52.0531 are to:
(1) Simplify the annual process of determining and paying the amounts due by nonhigh school districts to high school districts for educating students residing in a nonhigh school district;
(2) Provide for a payment schedule that coincides to the extent practicable with the ability of nonhigh school districts to pay and the need of high school districts for payment;
(3) Establish that the maximum amount due per annual average full-time equivalent student by a nonhigh school district for each school year is the lesser of:
(a) The enrichment levy rate per annual average full-time equivalent student levied upon the taxpayers of the high school district; or
(b) The enrichment levy rate per annual average full-time equivalent student levied upon the taxpayers of the nonhigh school district;
(4) If the nonhigh school district has not levied an enrichment levy during the current school year, then the amount due per annual average full-time equivalent student by the nonhigh school district is the enrichment levy rate per annual average full-time equivalent student levied upon the taxpayers of the high school district; and
(5) Designate the revenue provided to secondary school buildings to ensure dollars are being spent to support secondary school students.
