40 Tex. Admin. Code § 807.341 - School Closures
(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.
