State board directs staff to begin standards revision for driver and physical education
Summary
The Utah State Board of Education voted 13–2 to direct staff to begin revising standards for driver's education and physical education after a rubric review recommended those subjects for revision.
The Utah State Board of Education on a voice vote directed staff to begin the standards‑revision process for driver's education and physical education after members said a rubric review recommended those content areas be updated.
Board members said the rubric—part of the board's established standards‑revision cycle—was used to decide whether subjects should be left unchanged or scheduled for revision. The rubric review recommended initiating a full revision for both driver's education and physical education this year; the board then voted to direct staff to begin that process. The motion passed 13 yes to 2 no, with Member Boggess and Member Klein recorded as the two dissenting votes.
Board leaders did not specify a timeline for the revision during the motion and noted that the rubric is one step in a multi‑stage process that includes public input and subsequent drafts returning to the board for approval. Materials and committee notes referenced by members are in the meeting backup.
