Please review the draft and comparison chart found on the website above.  You may also want to look at the recommendations from OAGC last fall when the last draft was presented to the board (found http://www.oagc.com/files/DraftOAGCResponseto9.11.15ProposedRuleChanges.10.21.15.pdf).  As you review it, look for places where the new draft incorporates our requests, ares that can be tweaked a little to make them stronger, and major areas for improvement.  (Quick glance - major improvements are there for ID, gifted personnel qualifications, WEPs.  Still some concerns about minutes, general education teachers qualifications, an accountability.)
