The Division administers the Private Occupational School Act on behalf of the Governor appointed Private Occupational School Board, which meets monthly to approve new schools, school renewals, school programs and courses per the act and rules. To protect students against fraudulent and substandard educational practices, the Board also reviews Division investigations and issues disciplinary actions against schools when appropriate.
