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:

Subsection 53A-1-401(3) allows the Utah State board of Education to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities.

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:

The Utah State Board of Education (Board) reviewed this rule for continuation and determined that the rule is no longer necessary because the statute that provided funding for this program has been repealed and replaced with a new statute titled "Enhancement for At-Risk Students Program" that provides greater flexibility for using funds appropriation to local education agencies (LEAs) to provide for students who are at-risk for academic failure. This rule will be continued and then repealed as directed by the Board.
