Section 130.11 - Complaints

(a) The Commissioner, or his or her designee, may direct an LSA, or other authority which may include a BOCES, to investigate a nonpublic school if the Commissioner receives a complaint regarding the substantial equivalency of instruction at such nonpublic school, or if the Commissioner otherwise has concern regarding the substantial equivalency of instruction at a nonpublic school, regardless of whether a complaint has been submitted. The Commissioner will not direct an investigation of a nonpublic school where the Commissioner determines, in his or her discretion, that a complaint does not have merit or that investigation is otherwise not warranted.

(b) If so directed, the LSA shall investigate such complaint and make a positive or negative substantial equivalency determination, or recommendation for schools subject to a final determination by the Commissioner, consistent with this Part.

(c) If an LSA does not investigate and make a determination or recommendation on such complaint, the Commissioner may withhold public moneys from such LSA consistent with Education Law §3234 and section 130.14(b) of this Part.
