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) permits the Utah State Board of Education (Board) to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, and Subsection 53A-1-402(1)(a)(i) requires the Board to establish rules and minimum standards for the public schools regarding the qualification and certification of educators and ancillary personnel who provide direct student services.
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:
This rule continues to be necessary because is provides criteria to designate appropriate assignments of paraprofessionals and qualifications for paraprofessionals. The rule also establishes the formula for distribution of paraeducator funding to eligible schools and minimum standards for use of funds and reporting requirements. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
