RE: LSA Document #15-155 – Amends 511 IAC by adopting rules containing standards for the continuous improvement of teacher preparation program processes and the performance of individuals who complete teacher preparation programs.

On behalf of the Indiana State Board of Education, I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register and the Indiana Administrative Code in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, which requires that a notice be sent to the Publisher if a rule will not be approved or deemed approved by the Governor within one year of publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. This notice is to be submitted to the Publisher before the two hundred fiftieth day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published in the Indiana Register on June 3, 2015 (DIN: 20150603-IR-511150155NIA).

Due to extended deliberations the Board may not be able to complete the rulemaking process by June 3, 2016. Approval or deemed approval by the Governor is expected not later than December 31, 2016.

This notice is being submitted in a timely manner. December 29, 2015, is the two hundred tenth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Deputy General Counsel
