For paid work experience for elective credit provided under WAC 392-410-316 or by charter schools, a student's full-time equivalent shall be determined as follows:

1. (1) For paid work experience, in accordance with WAC 392-410-316, divide the student's actual hours of work experience for the month by 100. For example, 20 hours of paid work experience equals 0.20 (two-tenths) of a full-time equivalent (20 ÷ 100 = 0.20).
2. (2) Actual hours of paid work experience shall be reported monthly provided no student's total monthly enrollment exceeds the limitations under WAC 392-121-136 and the annual average enrollment under WAC 392-121-123. The student's actual hours of paid work experience must be documented and maintained by the school district or charter school for audit purposes.
3. (3) No more than 360 hours of paid work experience may be claimed for funding for each credit a student pursues as reported on the student's transcript. A maximum of two elective credits may be earned through paid work experience calculated in accordance with this subsection.
4. (4) Funding may be claimed only for paid work experience hours that occur as part of a school monitored placement scheduled as part of the student's school day. A minimum per term hour verification is required, and should be completed by an employee of the district possessing a valid Washington state secondary education teaching certificate (under chapter 181-79A or 181-77 WAC).
