§7411. Emergency power
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the commissioner may assume and exercise the authority of the school board if the commissioner declares an emergency exists such that the health, safety or welfare of students in academic, extracurricular or residential programs is in jeopardy or the school is in substantial and persistent violation of federal and state law. The commissioner's declaration of an emergency is not reviewable, but the commissioner shall exercise this emergency authority for a period not to exceed 3 months unless the commissioner again declares that an emergency continues. [PL 1999, c. 401, Pt. JJJ, §1 (NEW).]
