School Rule Development Committee
The School Rule Development Committee (SRDC),
see members and staff, was formed in November
2004 to advise DOH and the State Board of Health (SBOH) on proposed revisions to
Chapter
246-366 WAC.
These regulations govern environmental health and safety for
Kindergarten through 12th Grade schools in Washington
State.
SRDC Goals
Technical
Workgroups
Three Technical
Workgroups on Drinking Water, Indoor Air Quality, and Safety were formed to develop recommendations for the SRDC.
The
parameters for the Technical Workgroups were as follows:
-
Technical Workgroups formed to support the
work of the SRDC operated under the
SRDC Working Agreement
in Word 41KB or
PDF 57KB.
-
Formation of Technical Workgroups provided
for including persons with technical expertise and experience to
assist with clearly articulating the issues and formulating options in
response to them.
-
To maximize the effectiveness of the
Technical Workgroups, membership represented the range of
perspectives and points-of-view, including the appropriate technical
expertise, and was limited in size (10 12 persons).
-
Technical Workgroup meetings were open, public
meetings. Persons with interest in the topics addressed by the
workgroups were encouraged to attend and participate in the
discussions.
