The DSM must e-mail the board by the end of the day each day the school fails to meet the required instructor quota, with "instructor quota failure" and the school name in the subject line. The e-mail must contain the names and license numbers of the absent instructors, and the names and license numbers of the instructors present.

If a school is not in compliance with item A, the board must notify the school that it will not accept hours accrued by students during the period of noncompliance.
