Reconsideration.

67-11-20-06. Reconsideration. If an application for a certificate of completion for speech-language pathology paraprofessional is denied, the applicant must be notified of the opportunity for reconsideration. Upon receipt of a written denial, the applicant may request a reconsideration of the denial. A request for reconsideration must be in writing and must be received by the superintendent of public instruction within twenty-one days of the 3 date the denial was mailed to the applicant by the superintendent of public instruction. Untimely requests may not be considered. The request for reconsideration must discuss: 1. The fact, law, or rule the applicant believes was erroneously interpreted or applied; and 2. The applicant's arguments on how the fact, law, or rule should have been applied, giving specific reasons and a thorough analysis. The superintendent of public instruction will issue a final written response on the reconsideration request within twenty-one days after receiving a complete and timely reconsideration request. If the superintendent's written response denies the reconsideration request, the superintendent's written response must notify the applicant of the applicant's right to a hearing conducted pursuant to North Dakota Century Code chapter 28-32. The applicant shall request the hearing within thirty days. History: Effective December 1, 2003; amended effective October 1, 2023.
