High school students' options -- Enrollment in institutions of
higher education -- Transmittal of funds.
(1) Eleventh and twelfth grade
students or students who have not yet received a high school diploma
or its equivalent and are eligible to be in the eleventh or twelfth
grades may apply to a participating institution of higher education
to enroll in courses or programs offered by the institution of
higher education. However, students are eligible to enroll in courses
or programs in participating universities only if the board of
directors of the student's school district has decided to participate
in the program. Participating institutions of higher education,
in consultation with school districts, may establish admission
standards for these students. If the institution of higher education
accepts a secondary school pupil for enrollment under this section,
the institution of higher education shall send written notice to
the pupil and the pupil's school district within ten days of acceptance.
The notice shall indicate the course and hours of enrollment for
that pupil.
(2) The pupil's school district
shall transmit to the institution of higher education an amount
per each full-time equivalent college student at statewide uniform
rates for vocational and nonvocational students. The superintendent
of public instruction shall separately calculate and allocate moneys
appropriated for basic education under RCW 28A.150.260 to school
districts for purposes of making such payments and for granting
school districts seven percent thereof to offset program related
costs. The calculations and allocations shall be based upon the
estimated statewide annual average per full-time equivalent high
school student allocations under RCW 28A.150.260, excluding small
high school enhancements, and applicable rules adopted under chapter
34.05 RCW. The superintendent of public instruction, the higher
education coordinating board, and the state board for community
and technical colleges shall consult on the calculation and distribution
of the funds. The institution of higher education shall not require
the pupil to pay any other fees. The funds received by the institution
of higher education from the school district shall not be deemed
tuition or operating fees and may be retained by the institution
of higher education. A student enrolled under this subsection shall
not be counted for the purpose of determining any enrollment restrictions
imposed by the state on the institution of higher education.
