Section 67-12-01-05 - Investigation and enforcement

If the department of public instruction has reason to believe that a school district is operating a bus which does not conform to the standards established by this chapter, the department shall request that the North Dakota highway patrol investigate and report its findings to the department. If the findings indicate noncompliance, the department of public instruction shall notify the school district accordingly and order that the vehicle not be operated until it is in compliance. The department shall also notify the school district of its opportunity to request a review and reconsideration of the decision if such request is made in writing within two weeks of the date of mailing by the department of public instruction. The reconsideration request must state the following:

1. The facts, law, or rule which the school district believes was erroneously interpreted or applied; and

2. The school district's arguments on how the facts, law, or rule should have been applied, giving specific reasons and thorough analysis.

The superintendent of public instruction will issue a final written response on the reconsideration request within two weeks after receiving a complete reconsideration request.
