Rule 5180:2-5-05. Agency appeal of findings of noncompliance

119.03 (A) If the administrator or designee of an agency disagrees with any of the findings of noncompliance presented at an exit interview, the administrator or designee may submit an appeal, with supporting documentation, through the Ohio comprehensive child welfare information system (Ohio CCWIS) no later than ten business days following the agency receipt of the summary of findings of noncompliance. A licensing supervisor is to, if requested, arrange a meeting by phone or in person with the appellant prior to the review of the appeal. Upon the review of the appeal and the findings, the supervisor is to render a decision and explanation within ten business days. The decision of the licensing supervisor is to be final and does not entitle the agency to any hearing rights under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code unless the Ohio department of children and youth (DCY) initiates action to deny or revoke certification. (B) Any form of retaliation by DCY employees against agency administrators, designee or employees of agencies, who make appeals regarding findings of non-compliance, is prohibited.
