DAR File No.: 43084

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:
This rule is authorized by Utah Constitution, Article X, Section 3, which vests general control and supervision of public education in the Board of Education (Board), Subsection 53A-1-401(3) which permits the Board to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, and Section 53A-17a-159 which appropriates funding to establish extended contracts for mathematics and science teachers as part of the Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) Centers Initiative. The Utah State Office of Education (USOE) shall provide statewide supervision of the program and budget and shall recommend funding for USTAR programs based on USTAR objectives, Board funding priorities, and available funds.
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 were 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 is still necessary because it establishes standards and procedures to direct recipient public school districts or charter schools to develop proposals that create USTAR Centers that will enhance their ability to retain mathematics and science teachers while simultaneously offering more opportunities for students and more effectively using capital facilities. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
