Any board of education which has entered or hereafter shall enter its pupils with disabilities in the schools of a receiving district may not withdraw such pupils for the purpose of entering them in the schools of another district unless good and sufficient reason exists for such a change and unless an application therefor is made and approved by the commissioner. Either the receiving or sending board of education, if dissatisfied with the determination of the commissioner on any such application, may appeal to the state board, and, in its discretion, that body may affirm, reverse, or modify the commissioner's determination.
