Summary

The board approved R277‑484 (data standards draft 1) on second and final reading, adopting a one‑line change (line 216) that permits the superintendent to require a parallel data system for up to 90 days if necessary; the vote was unanimous.

The Utah State Board of Education voted unanimously to approve R277‑484 (data standards draft 1) on second and final reading during the finance report portion of the meeting.

Chair Davis described the change as a single‑line modification at line 216 that alters prior language requiring a parallel data system. "In the past it kind of forced our superintendent to require a parallel data system ... this one just re‑allows our superintendent to require it if it's necessary for a parallel data system for 90 days," she said, explaining the practical effect as a temporary allowance rather than an automatic mandate.

A clerk restated the motion for clarity on the record before the vote. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Davis concluded the finance report after the item cleared on the second and final reading.

The transcript did not include additional detail about implementation steps, affected systems, or which office would manage any parallel system; those specifics were not specified during the recorded discussion.
