This essay is the second of two that looks at how the rule-making process can be manipulated.\u00a0The first detailed the\u00a0rulemaking\u00a0process used by the US Department of Education.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The phrase, &#8220;The devil is in the details,&#8221; applies to both the federal and the state rule-making process. When &#8220;Every Child Succeeds Act&#8221; or ESSA was signed into law in 2015, it set off a series of events. One was the federal rulemaking process described in Part I of this series.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at how the series of events plays out at the state level and how citizens can get involved. Citizens can get involved at <strong>three<\/strong> different points. The <strong>first<\/strong> is when legislation is being proposed. Once the law is passed, the rule-making step allows for input. This is the <strong>next<\/strong> step and it is where things get dicey as the agency may make it difficult to submit input OR may ignore input.<\/p>\n<p>Although state law requires notification of proposed rulemaking through a Legal Notice that is published in local newspapers, I have found this method is not effective at keeping citizens informed as print readership is declining. For that reason I encouraged interested citizens to check for updates to the <a href=\"http:\/\/adminrules.idaho.gov\/bulletin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Administrative bulletin<\/a> on a regular basis and to spread that information to their respective groups. After the public comment period closes, the agency considers the information received regarding the proposed rule.<\/p>\n<p>As Representative Heath Scott advises in her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.repheatherscott.com\/rules-regs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">explanation of the rule-making process<\/a> &#8220;If you do not like the rule, you can send in a comment or pick up the phone and call the agency to discuss. Another option is to attend a public hearing on the proposed change. Many rules will have the times and locations of public hearings listed. If you do not see a location close to your home to attend, you can petition the agency to visit your town or county for a public hearing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this time the deadlines to comment on proposed rules have passed. The latest date to comment was June 15, 2016. Idaho&#8217;s State Board of Education has already proposed rules for bills passed during the 2016 session. Now what? Suppose you&#8217;ve missed the window of opportunity to comment OR the agency has ignored your input and that of many others.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the <strong>third<\/strong> step comes in. Idaho requires that rules proposed by an agency be approved. These will come up for approval in the 2017 session. Know that in <strong><em>Idaho only one body needs to approve the proposed rules<\/em><\/strong>. I stress that because many Idaho education activists have learned the hard and painful lesson that this is how we lose local control. In fact, it&#8217;s how Idaho came to have Common Core. It happened late one January afternoon when Senator Winder made a motion and Senator Mortimer seconded to approve Docket 08-0203-1003. On January 24, 2011 the Senate Education Committee unanimously approved the Common Core Standards.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s on the docket for 2017?<\/p>\n<p>We will be seeing Docket No. 08-0203-1608 which will address how Idaho&#8217;s assessment program will meet ESSA. The State Board of Education&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/boardofed.idaho.gov\/k_12\/accountability\/accountability.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Accountability Oversight Committee<\/a> and its <a href=\"https:\/\/boardofed.idaho.gov\/k_12\/documents\/AOC%20Membership_Public_May%202016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">members<\/a> have been working since early 2016 to formulate a <a href=\"https:\/\/boardofed.idaho.gov\/k_12\/documents\/accountability\/Accountability%20System%20Draft.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">plan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Will Idahoans see the same behavior from our SBOE as we&#8217;ve seen from the US DoE? That is will we have to demand the draft regulations be scrapped or tell our legislators they must act to rein in SBOE? Will Idaho&#8217;s response also violate the letter and spirit of ESSA?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once a bill becomes law, agencies begin the\u00a0rulemaking\u00a0process that details how the law will be implemented.
