The informal hearing shall be conducted by the Board of Education or its designee. For purposes of the hearing, the Board or its designee may subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance, subpoena documents for production, obtain additional factual information, and obtain testimony from experts, the person who is the subject of the proposed debarment or suspension, representatives of the District, or others who may be of assistance in making the determination.
