Public Notice of Proposed Rule-Making
Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 16-60-1 and 16-60-4 of the General Laws of Rhode Island, and in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, Section 42-35-3(a) of the General Laws, the RI Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education hereby gives notice of its intent to amend the current Regulations of the Rhode Island Board of Regents, Title A, Organization, Structure, and Procedure of the Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education.
The purpose of the proposed amendments is to revise Title A of the current Regulations so as to facilitate the scheduling of Board of Regents’ meetings, the reception of public comment at Regents’ meetings, compliance with the Open Meetings Act and the Public Records Act, the appointment of members to the boards of state schools, and compliance with equal employment opportunity requirements. The amendments also delete provisions which have been superseded by state and federal laws and regulations.
The proposed amendments are available for public inspection in person at the RI Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 255 Westminster Street, Providence,
RI, requested by email at Angela.Teixeira@ride.ri.gov or by calling Angela Teixeira at 401-222-8435.
In the development of the proposed amendments, consideration was given to: (1) alternative approaches; (2) overlap or duplication with other statutory and regulatory provisions; and (3) significant economic impact on small business. No alternative approach, duplication, or overlap was identified based upon available information.
All interested parties are invited to submit written comments concerning the proposed amendments by February 27, 2012. Written comments may be submitted to Angela Teixeira at RI Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 255 Westminster Street, Providence, RI 02903, or at Angela.Teixeira@ride.ri.gov or by faxing 401-222-6178.
