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-1-401 allows the Utah State Board of Education (Board) to make rules to execute the Board's duties and responsibilities under the Utah Constitution and state law; and Section 53A-1-603 directs the Board to require school districts and charter schools to administer the U-PASS assessment system to uniformly measure statewide student performance.

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 R277-604 continues to be necessary because it provides procedures for Utah private school students and home school students who are Utah residents, and Utah students attending BIA schools to participate in U-PASS.
