DAR File No.: 43083
Filed: 07/13/2018 10:56:10 AM

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:

This rule is authorized under Utah Constitution Article X, Section 3, which vests general control and supervision over public education in the Board of Education (Board), Subsection 53A-1-401(3) which allows the Board to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, and 20 U.S.C., Section 8063(3) which directs the Board to submit specific information prior to charter schools' receipt of federal funds.

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 were received.

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

This rule is still necessary because it establishes procedures for oversight and monitoring of charter agreements and charter schools for compliance with minimum standards. This rule also provides appeals criteria and a process for schools found out of compliance with chartering entity findings. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
