Filed: 03/14/2019 07:07:29 PMNOTICE 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 by Utah Constitution, Article X, Section 3, which vests general control and supervision of public education in the State Board of Education (Board), Subsection 53E-3-401(4), which gives the Board authority to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, Subsection 53E-3-501(1)(a)(i), which requires the Board to establish rules and minimum standards for the public schools regarding the qualification and certification of educators and ancillary personnel who provide direct student services, and No Child Left Behind (NCLB), Pub. L. No. 107-110, Title 1, Sec, 1119 which requires that each local education agency receiving assistance under this part shall ensure that all paraprofessionals shall be appropriately qualified.
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:
This rule continues to be necessary because it designates appropriate assignments of paraprofessionals and qualifications for paraprofessionals hired before and after 01/06/2002, consistent with NCLB requirements. This rule establishes the formula for distribution of Paraeducator funding under Section 53F-2-411 to eligible schools. This rule provides minimum standards for use of funds and reporting requirements. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
