4 below.
5 STIPULATION OF FACTS
6 1) The Commission has licensed Scanlon since June 19, 1990. Scanlon recently held a Standard
7 Teaching License issued April 27, 2009, with endorsements in Standard Health Education (018)
8 and Health Services (024), which expired on April 26, 2014. As of the date of this agreement,
9 Scanlon has not made application for renewal of his license. During all relevant times, Scanlon was
1O employed by the McMinnville School District.
1 1 2) On Wednesday, April 18, 2012, at approximately 2:30 pm, and Friday, April 20, 2012, between
12 2:30 and 3:30 pm; Scanlon used a school district computer to perform internet searches for
13 pornographic materials. Records indicate this adult material was both searched for and viewed on
14 a school district’s computer. A forensic review of Seanlon’s school district computer indicated that
15 Scanlon conducted these activities, on campus and during school hours. There is no evidence that
16 students were exposed to Scanlon's inappropriate internet activities. Forensic reports indicate
17 Scanlon phrased sexual search terms in foreign languages in order to bypass the school’s internet
18 filters. When interviewed Scanlon admitted to accessing the adult material multiple times‘
19 throughout the 2011 — 2012 school year.
20 3) At the time the concern became known to the District, Scanlon took prompt action of seeking
21 counseling and has successfully completed that process.
