R708-27-5. Refusal to Certify, Grounds for Cancellation and Suspension of Certification

(1) The division may refuse to certify teacher applicants who do not meet the standards for training or who submit an application that contains false or incomplete information.

(2) The certification of a teacher shall be effective until cancelled or suspended by the division. The USOE may initiate suspension or cancellation of a certification by providing the division with a written request.

(3) Certification once granted may be cancelled or suspended for non-compliance with these rules.

(4) When the division determines that a need exists to cancel or suspend a teacher's certification, it shall determine an appropriate course of action from the following options:

(a) suspension, pending a plan for remediation leading to reinstatement, or

(b) cancellation of certification.

(5) Reinstatement following cancellation of certification shall consist of completing an approved training plan following cancellation of certification and making application for a new certification.

(6) Certification shall be cancelled when teachers no longer are employed as licensed public school teachers. Teachers who discontinue employment with the USOE and then return to teach driver education must make a new application with the division for a new certification and complete approved training following cancellation of certification.
