Regulation No. 6-326 (#2976)On September 20, 2012, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the State Board of Education (Board). This rulemaking amends 22 Pa. Code Chapter 4. The proposed regulation was published in the October 6, 2012 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on October 18, 2013.
This regulation amends existing Chapter 4 regulations related to academic standards, assessments, planning and graduation requirements for all public schools, area vocational-technical schools, charter schools and cyber charter schools.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (24 P. S. §§ 1-121, 26-2603-B, 26-2604-B) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

This regulation is approved.
