Or. Admin. Code § 581-024-0215 - Assignment of Standardization Classification
(1) The district's designation as standard,
conditionally standard or nonstandard is determined by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and is based on the district's compliance with the rules
set out in division 024 of chapter 581 of the Oregon Administrative Rules and
other applicable rules and statutes.
(2) The Superintendent will review a
district's compliance with standards as part of a comprehensive, regular review
of the district, or may review a district in response to a public complaint
alleging noncompliance with one or more of the standards, or upon the
Superintendent's own initiative at any time as may be necessary to ensure
compliance with the standards.
(3)
During a review, the district shall cooperate with the Superintendent and
provide any and all evidence the Superintendent considers necessary for the
review. If as a result of a review of the district by the Superintendent it is
determined that the district does not comply with one or more of the standards,
the Superintendent will notify the district of the initial determination of
noncompliance and give the district 15 days to respond.
(4) If after reviewing the district's
response, the Superintendent determines that the district is in compliance with
all standards, the Superintendent will within 15 days from the receipt of the
district's response designate the district as standard.
(5) If after reviewing the district's
response, the Superintendent determines that the district is not in compliance
with one or more standards, the Superintendent will within 15 days from the
receipt of the district's response designate the district as nonstandard and
require from the district a plan to correct all deficiencies. The district will
have 30 days to provide the Superintendent with the plan. The Superintendent
may accept, reject or modify the plan within 30 days from the receipt of the
district's plan and will order the district to comply with the plan as
approved. The district will have 180 days from the approval of the plan to
correct all identified deficiencies.
(6) If a plan is not submitted to the
Superintendent within 30 days, the Superintendent will designate the district
nonstandard.
(7) When a plan to
correct deficiencies is approved by the Superintendent, the district is
designated conditionally standard.
(8) When the district corrects all identified
deficiencies, the district is designated standard.
(9) If after 180 days from the approval of
the plan, the district has not corrected all identified deficiencies, the
Superintendent will designate the district nonstandard.
(10) The Superintendent may impose sanctions
on a nonstandard district, including requiring merger with a contiguous,
standard district, withholding state school fund allocations and the sanctions
described in ORS 342.173. The determination of
sanction is left to the discretion of the Superintendent.
