§ 20-33-5-6. Assistance in completion of forms; determination of financial eligibility; appeal; hearing
Sec. 6. (a) All school corporations must give appropriate application forms to parents who wish to apply for assistance under this chapter. The school shall provide assistance to those applicants who are unable to write or otherwise make a written application. The parent shall submit the completed application to the school corporation. The school corporation shall make a determination of financial eligibility.
(b) If the school corporation makes a determination that the parent is ineligible based on the information in the application, the school corporation shall give the parent written reasons for the denial and inform the parent of the right to request a hearing before the governing body of the school corporation or the governing body's designee. After the determination, the school corporation may bill the parent for the student's fees, but the school corporation may not take any legal action against the parent until the parent has had the opportunity to make an appeal in a hearing before the governing body of the school corporation or the governing body's designee. If the parent pays the fees based on the school corporation's determination, and after the appeal it is determined that the parent qualifies for assistance, the school corporation shall reimburse the parent.
