If OSSE determines that the school or specialized program's application does not sufficiently demonstrate eligibility requirements, OSSE may deny the application.
If OSSE determines that the alternative program no longer meets the requirements set forth in §§ 7502.1(a)-(d), OSSE may terminate the alternative program designation. Termination shall not be effective until the following fiscal year.
OSSE shall provide the school or specialized program with written notice of denial or termination, and if applicable, required remedial action. The notice shall provide the reason for denial or termination, the specific remedial action, if applicable, and the effective date of the termination, if applicable.
A school or specialized program may request review of a decision by OSSE to deny the application or terminate the designation. A request for review shall be submitted in writing to OSSE within ten (10) calendar days of the date the recipient received notice of denial or termination. The written request for review shall include the following:
Review of the school or specialized program's request shall be performed by an OSSE employee designated by the State Superintendent of Education and such person shall not have participated in the decision to designate the school or program within a school as an alternative program, deny the application, or the decision to terminate the designation and its related funding. The decision of the reviewer shall be OSSE's final administrative decision.
