3. Statement of Reasonable Necessity: The Board of Public Education has determined it is reasonable and necessary to adopt, amend, and repeal rules relating to information literacy/library media content standards and performance descriptors pursuant to ARM 10.54.2503 Standards Review Schedule.

The Legislature recognizes the need to reassess educational needs on a cyclical basis and the board recognizes its standards represent the minimum standards. These standards are the basis upon which a quality system of education is built and maintained. The board strives to conform to a five year review cycle for every chapter of accreditation. The standards review process shall use context information, criteria, processes, and procedures identified by the Office of Public Instruction with input from representatives of accredited schools.

 

4. The proposed new rules provide as follows:
