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-1a-706(5)(b) provides for Utah State Board of Education (Board) rules to establish timelines for payments to private schools; Title 53A, Chapter 15, Part 15, Background Checks provides for criminal background checks and ongoing monitoring for employees and volunteers; Section 53A-1a-707 provides for Board rules about eligibility of students for scholarships and the application process for students to participate in the scholarship program; and Subsection 53A-1-401(3) allows the Board 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 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 it outlines the responsibilities of a parent, a local education agency (LEA), and an eligible private school that accepts a scholarship from a special needs student and the Board in providing choices for a parent of a special needs student who chooses to have the student served in a private school. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
