    NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

    Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

    Subsections 53A-13-101(1) and (3) direct the Utah State Board of Education (Board) to adopt rules to allow local school boards to adopt human sexuality education materials or programs and provide human sexuality instruction as in accordance with Section 53A-13-101; and Section 53A-1-401 allows the Board to make rules to execute the Board's duties and responsibilities under the Utah Constitution and state law.

    Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

    No written comments have been received.

    Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

    Rule R277-474 continues to be necessary because it provides requirements for local education agencies and individual educators to select instructional materials about human sexuality and maturation, provide notice to parents of proposed human sexuality and maturation discussions and instruction, and provide direction to public education employees regarding instruction and discussion of maturation and human sexuality with students. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
