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 by Utah Constitution, Article X, Section 3, which vests general control and supervision of public education in the Board of Education (Board), Subsection 53E-3-401(4) which permits the Board to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, and Subsection 53F-2-310(2), which requires the Board to distribute money appropriated for stipends for special educators for additional days of work.

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 continues to be necessary because it provides standards and procedures for distributing money appropriated for stipends for special educators for additional days of work: 1) in recognition of the added duties and responsibilities assumed by special educators to comply with federal law regulating the education of students with disabilities; and 2) the need to attract and retain qualified special educators. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
