(1)Subpoenas. The director of education has the power to issue, but not to serve, subpoenas for witnesses and to compel the attendance of those thus served and the giving of evidence by them. The subpoenas will be given to the requesting parties whose responsibility it is to serve to the designated witnesses. Requests for subpoenas may be denied or delayed if not submitted to the department at least five business days prior to the hearing date.

(2)Attendance of witness compelled. Any party may compel by subpoena the attendance of witnesses, subject to limitations imposed by state law.

(3)Cross-examination. Witnesses at the hearing are subject to cross-examination. An individual whose testimony has been submitted in written form, if available, will be subject to cross-examination by any party necessary for a full and true disclosure of the facts. If the individual is not available and cross-examination is necessary for a full and true disclosure of the facts, the administrative law judge may exclude the individual's testimony in written form.
