On behalf of the Indiana State Board of Education (SBOE), I am submitting this notice in compliance with IC 4-22-2-19, which requires an agency to begin the rulemaking process not later than 60 days after the effective date of the statute that authorizes the rule, unless a notice is filed with the Publisher that includes the reasons for the noncompliance.

The statutory authority for rulemaking that allows the SBOE to amend 511 IAC 6.2 concerning the assessment of school and school corporation growth and performance is IC 20-19-2-8 and IC 20-31-10-1.

The SBOE was unable to begin the rulemaking process within 60 days of the authorizing statute's effective date due to the fact that the need to amend 511 IAC 6.2-10 and replace it with 511 IAC 6.2-11 was recently identified by the Board.

The SBOE initiated the rulemaking process by publishing its Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule in the Indiana Register on January 10, 2018 (DIN: 20180110-IR-511180007NIA).
