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 the Utah Constitution Article X, Section 3, which vests the general control and supervision of the public schools in the State Board of Education (Board) and by Subsection 53E-3-501(1)(a), which directs the Board to make rules regarding the licensing of educators, and Subsection 53E-3-401(4), which 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:
There were no written comments 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 specifies the requirements for Early Childhood (K-3), Elementary (K-6), Elementary (1-8), Secondary (6-12), Special Education (K-12), and Preschool Special Education (Birth-Age 5) licensing. This rule also specifies the standards which the Board expects a teacher preparation institution to meet in specific areas for the institution to receive Board approval of the program. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
