Regular rulemaking procedures would cause an imminent peril to the public health, safety, or welfare; and place the agency in violation of federal or state law.

Justification: Without the new language allowing for internet reimbursement to K-6 students, LEAs may be in violation of state law to provide a Free and Appropriate Public Education to K-6 students. Without new language allowing LEAs to provide written authorization to third party vendors to collect and have access to public school enrollment verification records, LEAs may be in violation of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Some students in grades 7-12, enrolled in online or distance learning programs through third party vendors, may suffer economic hardship if internet reimbursement is not provided.
