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:

Section 53A-1-402 directs the Utah State Board of Education (Board) to establish rules and minimum standards for the qualification and licensing of educators and ancillary personnel who provide direct student services; 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 comment has 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 R277-503 continues to be necessary because it provides minimum eligibility requirements for applicants for teacher licenses; and provides criteria and procedures for teacher licensing routes and for licensed teachers to earn endorsements. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
