Notice of Proposed Rule

DAR File No.: 43621
Filed: 04/01/2019 09:53:25 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Utah State Board of Education (Board) is proposing new language to outline the procedures that a local education agency (LEA) should follow in awarding credits to students earned through the Statewide Online Education Program prior to grades 9 through 12, which count towards early graduation efforts.

Summary of the rule or change:

The new language was added in Subsections R277-700-2(13) and R277-700-4(6) outlining procedures that LEAs should follow.

Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 53E-3-501
  • Article X Section 3
  • Subsection 53E-3-401(4)
  • Section 53E-4-205
  • Section 53E-4-202

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

These rule changes will not have a fiscal impact on state government revenues or expenditures. These changes outline the awarding of credits to students through the Statewide Online Education Program prior to grades 9 through 12 as long as the student has declared an intent to graduate early and the high school courses are not used to replace middle school educational requirements (in line with changes to Rule R277-726). This rule also adds in keyboarding proficiency as a core subject requirement. These changes will not impact the state budget as they will not impact state funding.

local governments:

These rule changes will not have a fiscal impact on local governments' revenues or expenditures. These changes outline the awarding of credits to students through the Statewide Online Education Program prior to Grades 9 through 12 as long as the student has declared an intent to graduate early and the high school courses are not used to replace middle school educational requirements (in line with changes to Rule R277-726). This rule also adds in keyboarding proficiency as a core subject requirement. These changes will not have a fiscal impact on local governments. Keyboarding standards and assessments are already in place.

small businesses:

These rule changes will not have a fiscal impact on small businesses' revenues or expenditures. This rule applies to the elementary and secondary school general core so it does not apply to small businesses.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

These rule changes will not have a fiscal impact on other small businesses, businesses, or local government entities revenues or expenditures. This rule applies to the elementary and secondary school general core so it does not apply to other entities.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There are no compliance costs for affected persons.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

There are 1,241 entities with a NAICS code 611110 (Elementary and Secondary Schools) operating in Utah according to a "Firm Find Data" search through Utah's Department of Workforce Services. Most of the entities in the list are schools including public schools, charter schools, and private schools. Of the 1,241 entities, there are 15 private businesses, all of which are small businesses (there are no non-small businesses with a NAICS code 611110). These rule changes have no fiscal impact on LEAs and will not have a fiscal impact on non-small or small businesses. The Program Analyst at the Utah State Board of Education, Jill Curry, has reviewed and approved this fiscal analysis.

Appendix 2: Regulatory Impact to Non - Small Businesses

There are 1,241 entities with a NAICS code 611110 (Elementary and Secondary Schools) operating in Utah according to a "Firm Find Data" search through Utah's Department of Workforce Services. Most of the entities in the list are schools including public schools, charter schools, and private schools. Of the 1,241 entities, there are 15 private businesses, all of which are small businesses (there are no non-small businesses with a NAICS code 611110). These rule changes have no fiscal impact on local education agencies and will not have a fiscal impact on non-small or small businesses.

 

The Program Analyst at the Utah State Board of Education, Jill Curry, has reviewed and approved this fiscal analysis.
