P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 143n
The Secretary shall withdraw his/her recognition to a community school and render its charter ineffective when:
(a) It is confirmed that the educational endeavor is ineffective.
(b) Administrative deficiencies or irregularities that justify said action exist.
(c) The school incurs, or allows persons under its control to incur, significant violation of the laws or the regulations which govern the Public Education System; fails to comply with the agreements set forth in its charter; or fails to observe the principles that underlie the public policy on education.
Withdrawal of recognition of a school based on the provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall entail the loss of accreditation of the school should the Council on General Education so decide.
The Secretary shall provide, through regulations, for all matters pertaining to the temporary operation of the schools that loose [sic] their recognition, a condition under which they may not remain for over one year. If at the end of said term the school has not recovered its recognition, the Secretary shall grant an additional term of ninety (90) working days. If the difficulties that hinder the renewal of the charter are not resolved during that term, the Secretary shall remove from office the school personnel responsible for said situation. The students of the schools whose recognition as community schools has been revoked shall enjoy the services offered to all other students of the System.
