The Challenge

A dental training academy in California was cited by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education for operating without approval. The citation included a $25,000 fine and an order of abatement. The Bureau required the school to stop advertising, halt all instruction, disconnect phone numbers, and provide a full roster of enrolled students.

The school requested an informal conference to present its case. The Bureau affirmed the citation without changes. The owner now needed to correct the violations quickly and prepare a complete application package to resume operations legally.

The Solution

School Builder Plus worked with the academy to address the citation and prepare its BPPE application for submission. Our support included:
  • Reviewing the citation and outlining required corrective actions
  • Preparing the BPPE approval application package
  • Advising on how to document compliance efforts for the Bureau
  • Guiding the owner on the next steps while the school awaited review
Within weeks, the academy had corrected violations and submitted a full application that met BPPE requirements.

The Outcome

The citation was addressed, and corrective actions were completed. The application package has been submitted to the Bureau, and the school is now on track for approval once the Bureau completes its review. A final update will be added once the Bureau issues its decision.
