Rachel Soupey, general counsel for the State Board of Education, said the course access program rule would be revised to reflect statutory changes enacted in 2025.

"This item aligns the rule with chapter 235 of the Public Acts of 2025, which repealed from statute certain program reporting requirements," she said. Soupey summarized removals that include the department's obligation to publish a prominently linked course access catalog and to make publicly available counts of students participating, approved providers and courses, courses by subject and grade, student enrollment by subject and grade, and student outcome data.

Soupey noted these removals are intended to align the administrative rule with the statute. No public comments were offered at the hearing. The State Board will consider final reading of the rule package at its Nov. 21, 2025 meeting.
