RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF NWESD The NWESD Board of Directors and Superintendent agree to provide educational services pursuant to requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). All staff for the Program shall be employed by the NWESD and subject to the policies and rules and regulations of the NWESD, including regulations pertaining to RCW 28A.400.303, RCW 28A.400.322 and RCW 28A.400.330, and teacher certification as required by the State of Washington. In accordance with this Agreement, the NWESD shall: A. Operate a self-contained education program for students with specialized learning needs who manifest severe behavior challenges. B. Recruit, employ, and supervise staff required to adequately operate the Program. All staff for the Program shall be employed by the NWESD and shall be subject to the policies, rules and regulations of the Board of Directors of the NWESD. The NWESD reserves the right to delay or, if necessary, deny placement of any student where staffing capacity at the time of referral is estimated to be insufficient to adequately operate the Program upon student enrollment. C. Contract for staff each year according to the total number of students participating Districts have identified prior to March 1st, as identified in Section IV.A. When the number of students enrolled in the Program exceeds the level that can be reasonably accommodated by existing staff, additional staff may be hired as necessary. D. Contract or subcontract with any person or entity to provide services needed to operate the Program. E. Develop consistent procedures for students entering into and exiting from the Program. F. Coordinate interdistrict and interagency services and agreements required to implement educational plans and programs, including an Individual Education Program (IEP). G. Coordinate with each District for transportation, related services, and emergency services as needed to support attendance on a full-time basis. Related services for students are to be based upon IEP-designated needs. These services will be provided and paid for by each student’s resident District, unless it has been agreed upon by the IEP team that it would be more appropriate to offer these services as part of the Program. Student-specific services (e.g., 1:1 instructional aides, OT, PT, SLP, and other services) that are provided by the Program will be billed as an additional cost (including indirect charges) to the resident District of the student, unless otherwise agreed in writing. H. Coordinate Program and resident District personnel in accomplishing assessments, IEPs (to include resident District participation), and a full continuum of services for students. I. Coordinate shuttle transportation with each District during the school day between identified learning centers.
