1 2. On March 2, 2011, the Commission received Luebke’s application for reinstatement of
2 his expired Initial I Teaching License. According to Commission records, Luebke‘s Initial
3 I Teaching License had expired 0n April 15, 2010. The Commission learned from
4 Luebke’s reinstatement application and the Arthur Academy’s submitted Professional
5 Educational Experience Report (PEER) form that Luebke had been teaching third grade,
6 Multiple Subjects Self Contained, at the Arthur Academy Charter School and had been so
7 employed since 2008.
8 3.‘ The Commission’s investigation determined that Luebke worked as a teacher, without
9 either a valid license or registration from April 15, 2010, when his Initial Teaching

10 License expired, until the Arthur Academy administration removed him from the

1 1 classroom on or about May 25, 2011, when the administration realized Luebkc’s license

12 had expired. As a result, Luebke taught without a valid license for a period of

13 approximately thirteen (13) months.

14 4. Luebke has acknowledged his error in allowing his license to lapse and TSPC

1 5 acknowledges that Luebke has worked with Commission staff to reach a reasonable

16 resolution 0f this matter with the least burden possible for both parties.
