If the local licensing agency is not applying minimum standards, who is notified?

• A. Local county commission
• B. Federal Department of Education
• C. State Governor
• D. Licensing board

Answer: (A)

When a local licensing agency isn’t applying minimum standards, the body with direct oversight and accountability at the local level—the local county commission—is notified. The commission oversees the agency’s operations, reviews compliance, and can require corrective action or investigations to ensure enforcement of the standards. The other options operate at higher levels or in different roles, so the immediate point of contact for local enforcement issues is the county commission overseeing the licensing agency.
