1 STIPULATION OF FACTS
2 1. Talbot has been licensed as an Educator in Oregon since August 26, 2006.
3 Talbot's current Initial I Teaching License, issued on August 18, 2011, with
4 endorsements in Integrated Science (HS, ML), Multiple Subjects (MIDLVL) and
5 Multiple Subjects Self Contained (ECE, ELE), expires on March 15, 2015. During
6 all relevant times, Talbot was employed by the Harper Charter School.
7 2. Talbot was issued an Emergency Teaching License to allow him to continue to
8 teach while Talbot completed his requirements for renewal of his Initial I
9 Teaching License. Talbot’s Emergency Teaching License was valid from March 6,
‘ 10 2010, through September 30, 2010. Talbot did complete his required coursework,
l 1 1 but Talbot failed to make application for his Initial I Teaching License until
12 August 15, 2011. Talbot was issued his Initial I teaching license on August 18,
l 13 2011. As a result, Talbot was not licensed from September 30, 2010, until August
l 14 18, 2011. Talbot explained that he mistakenly believed his Emergency License
1 5 was valid for a period of one year. Talbot had been provided information and
16 materials explaining when his Emergency license expired and when he had to
17 make application for his Initial I License. Talbot continued to teach without a
18 valid license during the 2010-11 school year.
