Regulation No. 6-308 (#2653)

   On November 28, 2007, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of Education (Department). This rulemaking amends 22 Pa. Code Chapter 711. The proposed regulation was published in the December 8, 2007 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on May 16, 2008.

   This regulation amends requirements for identification screening and evaluation of students with disabilities in charter schools and cyber charter schools.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (24 P. S. §§ 17-173-A(c), 17-1749-A(b)(8) and 17-1751-A) 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.

By Order of the Commission:

   This regulation is approved.
