90- 668 C.M.R. ch. 2, § 6
Following receipt of the Review Team's recommendation, the Commission shall meet as a whole to discuss the applications. For each application, the Commission shall determine whether the application appears to demonstrate the applicant's competence in each element of the Commission's published approval criteria and appears to demonstrate that the applicant is likely to open and operate a successful public charter school as required in Title 20-A, section 2407(4)(C)(1), based on analysis by the Review Team and the Commission and any relevant comments from the technical experts.
If the Commission determines that the application does not meet the criteria set forth in subsection 1, the Commission shall deny the application without further Commission review and notify the applicant of the denial. Otherwise, the Commission shall arrange for an in-person interview and a public hearing on the application before taking a final vote on the application.
