Section 20 CSR 2085-13.070 - Crossover Schools

PURPOSE: This rule establishes general requirements for a school crossover license.

(1) Schools. Any person or entity may apply for a crossover license to operate both a barber and cosmetology school at the same physical location. Except as provided by this rule, applicants for a crossover school license shall comply with all rules applicable to both barber and cosmetology schools. A crossover license shall only be issued to schools where barber and cosmetology services are taught at the same physical location. If a different physical location is used for any of the barber or cosmetology instruction or functions for which a license is required, a separate license must be obtained for each location.

(2) Application Requirements. School applicants shall submit one floor plan for the entire crossover facility. Floor plans shall comply with the square footage requirements for both barber schools and the applicable cosmetology school and shall clearly indicate the separately designated clinical areas for barber and cosmetology students required by section (3) of this rule.

(A) Applications for a crossover school license will be reviewed and approved as provided in 20 CSR 2085-12.010. Final approval of a crossover school license by the board will be made upon final inspection of the school establishment. Applicants for a crossover school license that are licensed to operate a barber or cosmetology school at the time of application for a crossover school license shall be required to undergo a final inspection of the entire crossover facility.

(B) Applications shall include the name and address of each licensed instructor to be employed, provided that any school having only one (1) instructor per twenty-five (25) students in any professional training/instruction program shall also state the name and address of a substitute instructor who will be available for such profession.

1. Any barber school having only one (1) instructor per fifteen (15) students shall also state in their application the name and address of a substitute instructor who will be available.

2. Any cosmetology school having only one (1) instructor per twenty-five (25) students shall state in their application the name and address of a substitute instructor who will be available.

(C) Applicants for a crossover school license shall submit to the board separate cur-riculums for barber training/instruction and cosmetology training/instruction with the application for licensure.

(D) The school shall report any crossover student that has terminated his/her barber or cosmetology training as required by the rules of the board governing termination of students. Termination forms must be submitted even if the crossover student has been terminated from only one (1) program of instruction (barber or cosmetology) and is still enrolled in another program of instruction.

(E) The board shall not approve any application for a crossover school license that does not comply with the requirements of this rule.

(3) Upon licensure, crossover school licensees shall comply with all rules applicable to both barber schools and the applicable cosmetology school, including the following:

(A) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a crossover school licensee may use designated common areas for both barber and cosmetology purposes provided that no space or area(s) may be used for both barber training/instruction and cosmetology training/instruction at the same time.

(B) All barber work stations required by 20 CSR 2085-12.010(4)(C), shall be kept separated from the cosmetology clinical area at all times. However, barber work stations and cosmetology clinical areas may be located in the same room if the barber work stations are physically separated from the cosmetology clinical area at all times and can be easily and individually identified by the board or its designee. Barber work stations in a crossover licensed school shall contain all equipment required by, and comply with all provisions of 20 CSR 2085-12.010 and 20 CSR 2085-12.020 applicable to barber work stations.

(E) A crossover school licensee shall maintain all barber student records separately from records for cosmetology students. Records for crossover students shall be adequately maintained and shall clearly and separately identify the hours or credits, whichever is applicable, earned by a student in barber training/instruction and the hours or credits earned in cosmetology training/instruction. Records shall be maintained by the crossover school licensee in a manner that will allow the board or its designee to easily and separately identify the individual hours or credits earned by a crossover student for barbering and cosmetology, respectively.

(4) Students. Except as provided by this rule, crossover students shall be subject to and required to comply with all rules and requirements applicable to both barber students and the cosmetology students enrolled, including all education, training and examination requirements.

(5) School Location and Ownership. Each license for a crossover school issued by the board shall be valid only for the premises located at that address and board-approved ownership as provided in the initial application for the school. If at any time during the license period, the physical plant or operation of a school is moved to a new address, if ownership is transferred, or if substantial interest fifty-one percent (51%) or more of a partnership or corporation is altered in a way as to affect the registered ownership, then the license for the school shall become void. It shall be the responsibility of the holder of the license of the school to notify the board of any changes.
