| (a) Upon a showing of extreme extenuating circumstances, a school governed by this chapter may request a waiver from one or more requirements of this chapter. The Commission shall grant a waiver only upon a specific finding of good cause establishing that: (1) the imposition of the rule requirement from which the waiver is sought would cause undue economic hardship to the school and have a negative impact on the ability of the school to provide the students with the skills and knowledge required for employment; (2) the quality of education shall in no way be diminished or sacrificed by the granting of the waiver; and (3) the granting of the waiver will in no way limit the statutorily required application approval criteria contained in §132.055 of the Act. (b) The Commission may revoke a waiver in the same manner as a revocation of a certificate of approval, if the Commission determines
that the criteria contained in this section for a waiver no longer exists. (c) A school may appeal a requested waiver denial or revocation in accordance with the provisions of Subchapter D of the Act.
