Section 108-20-090. Approval or denial of an application.

(1) After evaluation of the application and supporting documents, interview, and other documented evidence received through the application review process, including public input received by the commission, the commission will determine whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application. Preference will be given to applications for charter schools designed to serve at-risk student populations.

(2) When an application is approved with conditions, those conditions will be enumerated and placed into two categories: (a) Precontract conditions; and (b) preopening conditions.

Precontract conditions must be fully satisfied by deadlines identified by the commission. Failure to fully satisfy the precontract conditions before the ninety day contract execution deadline will negate approval.

Preopening conditions and associated deadlines will be identified in the charter contract. Failure to satisfy the preopening conditions may be considered a material breach of the charter contract.

(3) Misrepresentations on application. In the event that an applicant makes material misrepresentations in the information and documentation submitted as part of this application process, the application may be denied.

(4) Reasons for denial of an application will be clearly stated in writing.
