Department of Education pulls several rules for rewrite after 2025 legislative changes
Summary
The Department of Education told the subcommittee it pulled rules from the agenda, including items tied to LEARNS and the universal academic credit, and plans to revise and resubmit them after incorporating changes made during the 2025 legislative session.
The Administrative Rules Subcommittee heard from Courtney Salas Ford of the Department of Education that several rules on the agenda were pulled so the department can incorporate statutory changes made during the 2025 legislative session.
Representative Vaught asked when the department would finish rules related to LEARNS; Salas Ford said the remaining rules are a priority and that several were approved at the department's May board meeting with more expected for approval in June and July. Representative Painter asked specifically about rules governing the universal academic credit and retention policies; Salas Ford said the department pulled those rules because legislative changes made in 2025 require further revision before final submission.
Salas Ford told members the department hopes to return updated rules to the committee within a few months and prioritized getting rules in place before the upcoming school year. The subcommittee took no formal action on the pulled items during the meeting.
