RE: LSA Document #09-357 – Staff Student Ratio

Dear Representative Pelath:

On behalf of the Indiana State Board of Education, I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, because the Board has determined that the promulgation of the captioned rule concerning the staff to student ratio may not be completed within one year after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. The Board published its notice of intent in the Indiana Register on May 20, 2009.

The Board is in the process of filing the proposed rule with LSA, but the submission is incomplete as we wait for rule approval from the State Budget Agency. Following the submission of the proposed rule, the Board expects that the rule can be approved by the Governor by December 31, 2010.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval of LSA Document #09-357 as December 31, 2010, is being submitted in a timely manner. The two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule is January 25, 2010.

Sincerely,

Matt Tusing

Legal and Policy Analyst

Indiana Department of Education
