The state board of education shall take one of the following actions:
(1) If no deviations are found, the state board of education shall grant full approval.
(2) If minor deviations are found and the private school has resolved the deviations, the state board of education shall grant full approval.
(3) If major deviations are found and the private school in its narrative report provides satisfactory assurance of compliance by the commencement of the annual school term, the state board of education shall grant full approval.
(4) If major deviations are found and the private school in its narrative report, supplemented by direct testimony to the state board of education, demonstrates it is not practical to correct such major deviations prior to the commencement of the annual school term but establishes to the satisfaction of the state board of education its ability to correct such deviation as soon as is practical, the state board of education shall grant such private school provisional approval for the period of time the state board of education determines is necessary to correct the major deviation but no longer than one year.
(5) If unacceptable deviations are found or if the private school fails to comply with timely corrective conditions within subsection (2), (3), or (4) of this section for minor or major deviations, state board of education approval shall be denied or rescinded.
(6) If any unresolved concerns, deficiencies, or deviations are found and the private school is an entity authorized by the superintendent of public instruction to provide a program of special education and related services for students with disabilities under RCW
