Virginia Administrative Code › Title 8 - EDUCATION › Agency 20 - STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION › Chapter 820 - GENERAL PROCEDURES AND INFORMATION FOR LICENSURE › Part IX - Hearings Procedures › Section 8VAC20-820-500 - Case decision

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The
				  superintendent, after review of the findings of fact and recommended decision
				  of the hearing officer, shall make a case decision and issue an order in the
				  case within 30 days from the date that the superintendent receives the hearing
				  officer's recommendation (§§
										2.2-4020
				  and
				  2.2-4021
				  of the Code of Virginia). The superintendent shall provide notification to the
				  aggrieved party of the decision within 30 days of receipt of the hearing
				  officer's recommendation. If the superintendent does not render a decision
				  within 30 days, the aggrieved party to the case decision may provide a written
				  notice to the superintendent that a decision is due. If no decision is made
				  within 30 days from the superintendent's receipt of the notice, the decision is
				  deemed to be in favor of the aggrieved party. Service of the notice of the
				  superintendent's decision is achieved by mailing the notice of the case
				  decision to the licensee, unless service is made by other means and
				  acknowledged in writing by the licensee. If service is accomplished by mail,
				  three days shall be added to the 30-day period. If the licensee wishes to
				  appeal the decision, the licensee shall have 30 days after service of the
				  notice of case decision to make such request.
B. The signed original case decision shall
				  remain in the custody of the agency as a public record, subject to the agency's
				  records retention policy. The signed originals or facsimiles thereof, together
				  with the full record or file of the case, shall be made available for public
				  inspection or copying except as the agency may, in its discretion under §
										2.2-4023 of the Code
				  of Virginia, decide to withhold part or all of the records.
C. The provisions for appealing the
				  Superintendent's order in accordance with the Administrative Process Act are
				  found at §§
										2.2-4025
				  through
				  2.2-4030
				  of the Code of Virginia.
D. When
				  issuance or renewal of a license for a child day program or family day system
				  has been refused by the superintendent, the applicant shall not thereafter for
				  a period of six months apply again for such license.
EXCEPTION: A child day program or family day system may
					 apply again for such license before the end of the applicable specified period
					 if the superintendent in his sole discretion believes that there has been such
					 a change in the conditions on account of which he refused the prior application
					 as to justify considering the new application.

Virginia Administrative Code › Title 8 - EDUCATION › Agency 20 - STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION › Chapter 830 - FEE REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCESSING APPLICATIONS › Section 8VAC20-830-10 - Fees

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
By act of the General Assembly and effective July 1, 2021,
				  the Department of Education is authorized to charge fees for processing
				  applications for licenses (§
									22.1-289.010
				  of the Code of Virginia).
Such fees are to be used for the development and delivery of
				  training for operators and staff of facilities or agencies for children subject
				  to licensure solely by the Department of Education.
Each license and renewal of it may be issued for a period of
				  up to three successive years. The required fee for each licensed facility or
				  agency will be based upon its licensed capacity and the length of the total
				  licensure period. However, the fee will be collected annually and licensees
				  will be billed each year by the Department of Education for the appropriate
				  portion of the fee. (Example: A facility with a capacity of 55 participants is
				  issued a license for a period of 24 months. The fee for that facility for the
				  two-year period would be $210. The facility will be charged $105 at the
				  beginning of the licensure period and billed again for $105 at the beginning of
				  the second year of licensure.) No fee will be charged directly following the
				  issuance of a conditional license.
Some programs such as, but not limited to, parks and
				  recreation programs and summer camps, which operate for less than four months
				  in a 12-month period, will pay a reduced fee as indicated in the fee schedule
				  below (short-term programs).
Applicants shall use the following schedule of fees to
				  determine the correct fee to pay for processing all applications.

The fee shall be paid by personal check, money order, or

A fee that is incorrect in amount or is made payable other
				  than to the Treasurer of Virginia will be returned to the applicant. Otherwise,
				  no fee will be returned or refunded for any reason.
Failure to submit the appropriate fee within the time frame
				  specified by the Department of Education may result in negative action against
				  a facility's or agency's license.
A fee will be charged for checks that must be returned to the
				  applicant because of insufficient funds.

Virginia Administrative Code › Title 8 - EDUCATION › Agency 35 - GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY › Chapter 10 - PARKING CITATION APPEALS › Section 8VAC35-10-20 - General provisions

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
This procedure is designed to assist the university
				  administration in evaluating the parking program, to highlight problem areas,
				  to provide a learning experience to those who receive citations while using
				  George Mason University parking facilities, and to provide an avenue to correct
				  enforcement errors.
Requests for an appeal must be submitted in writing within
				  10 calendar days of the citation date and must be submitted on the Parking
				  Citation Appeal form. Any appeal not filed within this time is automatically
				  denied. While the citation is under review, fines are held in abeyance. Each
				  request for appeal will be carefully reviewed by the Appeals Review Officer.
				  The Appeals Review Officer will base his decision on the George Mason
				  University Motor Vehicle Parking Policies and Regulations (8VAC35-21-10 et seq.) and on the
				  information presented in the written request. The Appeals Review Officer may
				  uphold the appeal, deny the appeal, or reduce the violation to an appropriate
				  lesser violation. The decisions together with comments are reported to the
				  appellant by mail.
The appellant can appeal the decision of the Appeals Review
				  Officer as set forth in
				  8VAC35-10-40 with the exception of
				  an expedited hearing in which all decisions are final. Fines due after the
				  appeal is decided must be paid within 10 calendar days of the decision date.
				  Failure to pay citations or appealed citations by a faculty or staff member
				  will result in the individual's outstanding account being turned over to a
				  collection agency. Students will be placed on financial suspension.
Information submitted in support of appeals and/or
				  re-appeals is received at face value and is subject to validation by the
				  university.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				All faculty, staff, student, and visitor appeals will be considered by an
				Appeals Review Officer, who may uphold the appeal, deny the appeal, or reduce
				the regulation violated to a lesser offense. The results of the appeal will be
				reported to the appellant by United States mail or at the conclusion of an
				expedited hearing. Payment of fines on appealed citations is due within 10
				calendar days after the decision date. All student appeals are considered by
				the Student Appeals Board unless the expedited hearing process is selected. An
				expedited hearing process is available for the convenience of the individual
				who receives a ticket and wishes to have an immediate review and decision of
				the matter. All decisions are final.
Neither the members of the Faculty/Staff Appeals Board or the
				  Student Parking Appeals Review Board are affiliated with the Parking Services
				  Office or are compensated for their services. The appeals review/expedited
				  hearing officer is a paid member of the University Services staff and hears
				  appeals upon request three days each week from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. All decisions
				  are final.
B. Appeals
				guidelines are described in this subsection.
1. The citation is presumed valid. It is the
				obligation of the appellant to present information that would invalidate the
				ticket.
2. Reasons that might
				warrant invalidation of the ticket are: evidence of illness that necessitated
				the violation, mechanical breakdowns that were handled in a reasonable
				expeditious manner, documented erroneous information given by a parking
				services employee, or other circumstances that are unusual enough to warrant
				special consideration.
3. Reasons
				to warrant a downgrade of the ticket are: when further information that was not
				readily available to the marshall is provided to the reviewer as a
				justification for the downgrade (e.g., a ticket for "no decal" given to a car
				that has been issued a valid decal, but not displaying the decal), valid
				misunderstandings regarding ambiguous parking areas, judgment of the reviewer,
				etc.
4. A specific reason for
				denial need not be given. A general statement can be made that a sufficient
				reason for reversal was not contained in the written appeal. The appeals
				process sheet states that decisions are made based on the George Mason
				University Motor Vehicle Parking Policies and Regulations (8VAC35-21-10 et seq.), on
				information presented in the written request and on any further comments made
				by the appellant in case of a re-appeal.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 8 - EDUCATION › Agency 35 - GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY › Chapter 10 - PARKING CITATION APPEALS › Section 8VAC35-10-60 - Reconsideration

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
Requests for reconsideration of denied appeals may be made to
				  the Parking Services Office. The request for reconsideration must be made
				  within 10 calendar days from the date stamped on the Appeal Board decision sent
				  to the appellant. One or more of the following criteria must be met for the
				  appeal to be reconsidered:
1. No
				university parking regulation appears to have been violated.
2. Citation, as written, contains a material
				error.
3. Additional information of
				a material nature, and not included on the original appeal form, warrants
				reconsideration.
4. Unusual
				circumstances in mitigation or extenuation appear to exist.
5. Parking regulations appear sufficiently
				vague or misleading to warrant reconsideration.
For an appeal to be reconsidered by the Faculty/Staff Appeals
				  Board or the Student Parking Appeals Review Board, the appellant must be
				  present at the scheduled hearing. The appellant will be accorded an opportunity
				  to present succinct comments bearing directly on the case being considered. All
				  balloting will be conducted in closed session; the university's decision is
				  final.
