If the claimant is still dissatisfied, an appeal may be made
in writing to the director of education by giving written notice of the appeal
to the state director of education with a copy by registered mail to the
executive officer of the governing organization. An appeal is to be in the form
of an affidavit and be filed within ten business days after the date of mailing
of the decision of the governing organization. The director of education will
establish a date for hearing within 20 calendar days of receipt of written
notice of appeal by giving at least 5 business days' written notice of hearing
to the appellant, unless another time is mutually agreeable. The procedures for
hearing adopted by the state board of education and found at 281-Chapter 6 are
applicable, except that the decision of the director is final. Appeals to the
executive board and the state director are not contested cases under Iowa Code
section 17A.2(5). The
burden of proving entitlement to relief under this rule lies with the party
seeking it.
