a) Recognition Provisions
b) Evaluation. The ICCB staff recognition team will conduct an in-depth evaluation of a district at least once every 5 years. Additional or alternate focused evaluations may be conducted to review circumstances of alleged gross noncompliance with ICCB standards. The purpose of the evaluation will be to determine compliance with ICCB standards. The evaluation may include an on-site visit. No district will be granted a recognition status without having received a prior in-depth evaluation. A district will receive a draft report of the recognition team's findings no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the evaluation. The district will have 30 days to review the draft report, respond to compliance recommendations, and return the responses to ICCB. A final report will be presented to the ICCB at its next regularly scheduled meeting and will include the district's responses to the draft report's findings. Accompanying the final report will be the evaluating team's recommendation for recognition status.
c) Review and Appeal. The ICCB may place a district on a recognition interrupted status for failure to meet ICCB standards after being granted a status of recognition continued - with conditions and receiving a follow-up evaluation if the district has not resolved the conditions within the stated time allowed. Any district whose recognition is interrupted may file a written request with the ICCB for a hearing on the decision in accordance with Section 1501.110. Pending the hearing and decision, any consequences of recognition interrupted will be suspended.
d) Recognition Standards. The recognition standards by which a district will be evaluated for recognition purposes will be the applicable statutes within the Public Community College Act and applicable ICCB rules.
