Regular State Board Meeting - January, 2020

Wednesday, January 8, 2019, 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Highlights:

Assessment: Information Item regarding setting cut scores on the College Entrance Exam (SAT)

Legislative Update regarding upcoming 2020 legislative session

10:00 – 10:30 a.m. Public Comment: Members of the public will have the opportunity to address the State Board, except in any rulemaking hearings, accountability hearings, or charter school appeals currently before the Board. In those cases, because the State Board has a very narrow authority, the board handles such cases differently than other matters. Because of the special status given to these proceedings under the law, the board cannot consider letters and outside materials sent in from the public, and cannot entertain comments about the appeal during the public comment portion of its meeting. For rulemaking hearings, there are special sign-up sheets for public testimony and for accountability hearings, public comment is solicited prior to the hearing.
