The facility schools board by rule shall specify:   The procedures by which a facility school may apply to the unit for placement on the list of approved facility schools;    The information that each facility school shall provide in the application;    The reporting requirements for approved facility schools; and    The criteria that a facility school shall meet to be placed on the list of approved facility schools.       The unit shall review the applications received pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2) and shall place on the list of approved facility schools those applicants that meet the criteria specified by rule of the facility schools board. The unit shall notify each applicant regarding placement on the list of approved facility schools. If the unit denies an applicant placement on the list, the unit shall explain the basis for the denial. An applicant that is denied may reapply for placement on the list following correction of the cause for denial.

The unit shall periodically, as provided by rule of the facility schools board, review each approved facility school to determine whether the approved facility school is in compliance with the requirements specified in subsection (3) of this section. If the unit determines that an approved facility school is out of compliance, the unit shall give the approved facility school notice of the lack of compliance. If the approved facility school does not come into compliance within thirty days after receiving the notice, the unit shall remove the facility school from the list of approved facility schools.
