A separate classroom shall not require separate authorization. The application shall also be accompanied by the application fee provided in section 85-1643. Until the Tuition Recovery Cash Fund initially reaches the minimum fund level prescribed in section 85-1656, the application shall be accompanied by a surety bond as provided in section 85-1639.
