OAR 584-050-0019: Termination of Probation

(1) Promptly after the full term of probation has been completed, the educator must submit to the Commission documentation sufficient to establish convincingly that all terms and conditions of the probation have been met successfully and fulfilled. (2) If the materials submitted for termination of probation are satisfactory, the Executive Director will terminate the probation. If materials are incomplete or not found to be satisfactory, the Executive Director will make a recommendation regarding the probation to the Commission in executive session at the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting. (3) Before taking action on the Executive Director's recommendation, the Commission may schedule an informal meeting between the educator and the Commission in executive session. The decision to schedule or not to schedule an informal meeting is entirely at the Commission's discretion. (4) If the Commission does not terminate the probation, the educator will be entitled to a contested case hearing pursuant to ORS 342.175 and OAR 584-019-0002. (5) The Executive Director may issue a charge and notice of opportunity for hearing to an educator on probation when the Executive Director has information that any term or condition of probation may have been violated. If the educator is unwilling to accept disciplinary action proposed by the Executive Director and approved by the Commission, the educator will be entitled to a contested case hearing under ORS 342.175 and OAR 584-019-0002. (6) When no conditions for completion have been established by the Commission, and when there is no documented violation of Commission rules by the educator subsequent to the issuance of the current probation, the term of probation shall be allowed to expire without documentation being required from the educator.
