13 Mail and U.S. Certified Mail Receipt 7010 2780 oooo 2187 6713 to the address on file with the
14 Commission. Neither the Certified mail nor regular mail were returned to the Commission and
15 are therefore assumed delivered. The Notice of Opportunity of Hearing, dated June 17, 2011,
16 and signed by Victoria Chamberlain, Executive Director, stated:
17 “IF A REQUEST FOR HEARING IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN THIS 21—DAY PERIOD,
18 YOUR RIGHT TO A HEARING SHALL BE CONSIDERED WAIVED UNLESS YOUR
19 FAILURE TO REQUEST A HEARING WAS BEYOND YOUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

21 HEARING, THE COMMISSION WILL ADOPT AN ORDER OF DEFAULT WHICH MAY
22 INCLUDE THE REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF YOUR LICENSE OR OTHER

24
25 Wagenblast did not request a hearing. The Commission, therefore, finds Wagenblast to be in
26 default and enters the following findings of fact, conclusions of law and order, based on the files
27 and records of the Commission concerning this matter.
28 FINDINGS 0F FACT
29 1. Wagenblast has been licensed as a teacher in Oregon since October 24, 2007. Her Restricted
30 Transitional Teaching License, with a endorsements in Language Arts (HS), and Spanish
31 (ELE, MS, ML), issued on January 18, 2008, expired on October 24, 2010. Wagenblast also
32 held a Restricted Substitute Teaching License (PP-12), valid October 24, 2007, which
33 expired on October 24, 2010. During all relevant times Wagenblast was employed by the
34 Ione School District.
35 2. Between October 24, 2010, and December 2, 2010, Wagenblast taught with no form of
36 license from the Commission. During this time Wagenblast was unable to renew her license
37 because she had not completed the Civil Rights Knowledge requirement. Wagenblast was
38 informed of this requirement on at least three separate occasions, October 24, 2007,
39 January 18,2008, and June 19, 2008.
