(a) When a school district qualifies for partial State intervention pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:30-6.2(a), the Commissioner may seek partial State intervention in the school district by issuing an Order to Show Cause why an administrative order to place the identified components under partial State intervention should not be implemented.

(c) The Order to Show Cause shall be referred to the Office of Administrative Law, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq., for a plenary hearing conducted on an expedited basis. In this proceeding, the Department shall have the burden of showing the recommended administrative order is not arbitrary, unreasonable, or capricious.

(e) The State Board may place the school district under partial intervention. The State Board's decision shall be considered final and may be appealed to the Superior Court, Appellate Division.
