40 Tex. Admin. Code § 807.341 - School Closures
Current through Reg. 46, No. 53; December 31, 2021
(a) The
Commission may declare a school to be closed when:
(1) written notification is received by the
Commission from the school owner stating the school will close;
(2) Commission determines that the school
facility has been vacated without prior notification of a change of address
given to the Commission;
(3) an
owner with multiple school locations transfers all students from one school
location to another school location;
(4) the school dismisses all students,
contrary to the school's class schedule as printed in the school catalog;
or
(5) the school fails to maintain
the faculty, facilities, equipment, or courses of instruction on the basis for
which approval was issued.
(b) After the Commission determines that a
school will close or is closed, the Commission will attempt to notify students
concerning their options to accept a teach-out or to receive a proportional
tuition refund based on available funds. Notification to students may include
constructive notice in news media, student meetings, or mailings to
students.
(c) Each teach-out
requires approval of the Commission to determine whether the course of
instruction is available, reasonable, and comparable with the course of
instruction of the closed school. The teach-out is subject to the following
conditions:
(1) Transfers of students from a
closed school to another school under the same ownership shall not constitute a
teach-out.
(2) In order to be
eligible for a teach-out, students shall submit a signed statement of
acceptance to the teach-out school by the deadline as established by the
Commission.
(3) The school offering
the teach-out shall give credit for all comparable training received at the
closed school, as determined by the Commission.
