The PA State Board of Education (Board) recently submitted a final-form regulation titled “Academic Standards and Assessment.”  You can obtain a copy of the final-form regulation from IRRC’s website at http://www.irrc.state.pa.us/regulations/RegSrchRslts.cfm?ID=3314.
It will be considered by IRRC at its public meeting on Thursday, May 19, 2022, beginning at 10 am in the 14th floor conference room, 333 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA.  The agenda and any changes to the time or date of the meeting will be posted on IRRC’s website at http://www.irrc.state.pa.us/meetings/.  In addition, the public meeting will be livestreamed and accessible through the IRRC website.
Any comments on this final-form regulation should be submitted to the Board prior to the 48-hour blackout-out period, which begins at 10 am on Tuesday, May 17, 2022.  The Regulatory Review Act requires IRRC to embargo any comments it receives during the 48-hour blackout period.  Any comments received during the blackout period will not be reviewed by IRRC’s Commissioners until the start of the meeting.  For this reason, it is better to comment before the blackout period begins.
