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:

Utah Constitution, Article X, Section 3, vests general control and supervision of public education in the Board; and Subsection 53A-1-401(3) authorizes the Board to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities.

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 R277-716 continues to be necessary because it defines the responsibilities of a local education agencies (LEA) to identify an English Language Learner/Limited English Proficient (ELL/LEP) student currently enrolled a in Utah school; to provide consistent and appropriate services to identified students; and to appropriately distribute (ELL/LEP) funds to LEAs with adequate policies. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
