The board of any district or a consortium of districts, with the approval of the commissioner, may establish and operate a flexible learning year program in one or more of the day or residential facilities for children with a disability within the district. Consortiums may use a single application and evaluation process, though results, public hearings, and board approvals must be obtained for each district as required under appropriate sections. The commissioner must approve or disapprove of a flexible learning year application within 45 business days of receiving the application. If the commissioner disapproves the application, the commissioner must give the district or consortium detailed reasons for the disapproval.
