school in this state at least once every three years, prepare an inspection report, and
provide copies of the report to the superintendent of the school district and the
superintendent of public instruction.
2. a. If a deficiency is noted, the superintendent of the school district shall submit a
plan of correction to the state fire marshal or the state fire marshal's designee
and shall remedy the deficiency within a time period acceptable to the state fire
marshal or the state fire marshal's designee and the school board affected by the
deficiency, but not later than the next budget period.
b. If the report discloses an imminent fire hazard, the state fire marshal or the state
fire marshal's designee shall immediately notify the school board, the school

closure, the school district superintendent shall cooperate with the superintendent
of public instruction to make adequate arrangements for the interim education of
all affected students.
