The Utah State Board of Education postponed two related rule items for further consideration in December after procedural and substantive debate.

Chair Carey presented item 10.3, R277-114 (Response to compliance and related issues). A substitute motion to postpone consideration until the December board meeting was offered; members debated parliamentary wording (whether to "carry" or "postpone"). The board voted to postpone R277-114 until the December 4 board meeting. The vote was recorded as 12 in favor and 3 opposed; the three opposing votes were identified as Members Wood, Bollinger and Bridal.

The board then considered item 10.4, R277-111 (Board oversight framework) scheduled for repeal. Member Bridal moved to send the item back to committee and suggested postponement until the December 5 committee meeting, saying the committee's work had been robust and deserved more collaboration before full-board consideration: "I would like to see more collaboration and something better coming before the board with these 111 and 114." That amendment to send the item back to committee failed, 9 opposed and 5 in favor; those in favor included Members Reel, Davis, Booth, Bollinger and Lear. The board subsequently adopted the substitute motion to postpone R277-111 until the December 4 board meeting; that motion passed with the vote recorded as unanimous with Member Green absent.

Both items will return for further consideration at the December meetings referenced on the record.
