If the State Board rejects the plan, it may determine the program and management of the school. In this event, the State Board may contract with a third party to operate the school and the local school system pays the contractor. If the local school system fails to comply, the State Superintendent may require the State Comptroller to withhold funds from the system. The local school system may appeal the state's decisions at various stages in the process. The State Department of Education awards funds to them based on needs identified in the school's plan and all have received some funds.
Sanctions have yet to be imposed in any cases.
