Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 43426
Filed: 12/07/2018 10:08:36 AM
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 Subsection 53G-8-202(2)(c)(i), which directs the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop a discipline policy model for elementary and secondary public schools, and 47 CFR, Part 54, Children's Internet Protection Act, which requires schools and libraries that have computers with internet access to certify they have internet safety policies and technology protection measures in place to receive discounted internet access and 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 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:
This rule continues to be necessary because it directs all local education agencies (LEAs) and public schools to adopt policies, individually or collectively as school districts or consortia of charter schools, governing the possession and use of electronic devices, both LEA-owned and privately-owned, while on public school premises or, participating in school activities, for LEA-owned devices, wherever the devices are used. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
