Truancy Prevention
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 43959

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 general control and supervision of public education in the Utah State Board of Education (Board), Subsection 53E-3-401(4), which permits the Board to adopt rules in accordance with its responsibilities, and Section 53G-6-206 which directs educational entities and parents working on behalf of children to make efforts to resolve school attendance problems of school-age minors who are or should be enrolled in local education agencies (LEAs).
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.
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 this rule directs LEAs to establish procedures for informing parents about compulsory education laws, encouraging and monitoring school attendance consistent with the law, and providing firm consequences for noncompliance. This rule encourages meaningful incentives for parental responsibility and directs LEAs to establish ongoing truancy prevention procedures in schools, especially for students in grades 1-8. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
