What happens if a school owner fails to renew their license within the allotted time?

If a school owner fails to renew their license within the allotted time, they must reapply for licensure. This process typically involves submitting a new application along with the necessary documentation and fees. The requirement to reapply emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with state regulations and underscores the significant responsibility that school owners have in adhering to licensure timelines.

Continuing to operate without a valid license is generally not permitted, as it could put students, staff, and the integrity of the educational institution at risk. Additionally, simply receiving a warning or paying a fine does not address the underlying issue of operating without a valid license, which is why reapplying is the stipulated consequence in this scenario.
