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 R277-400 continues to be necessary because it establishes general criteria for emergency preparedness and emergency response plans; and directs local education agencies (LEAs) to develop prevention, intervention, and response measures; and prepare staff and students to respond promptly and appropriately to school emergencies.
