5 On or about September 2S, 1997, the Teacher Standards and
6 Practices Commission (Commission) issued a Notice of Opportunity
7 for Hearing to Marjorie Jane Bush (Bush) in which the Commission
8 proposed to suspend or revoke her Oregon teaching license or to
i 9 impose other discipline under ORS 342.177. The basis for the
10 proposed action was Bush's alleged misconduct including theft,
11 making false statements on Commission Form C-l, and submitting a
12 forged Professional Educational Experience Report Form (PEER).

‘ v The Commission and Bush have now reviewed the matters
15 alleged and have agreed that their respective interests, together
16 with the public interest, are best served by entering an Order of
17 Surrender of License and Revocation of License based upon the
18 following_Stipulation of Facts. In entering this Stipulation,
19 Bush waives her right to a hearing. This agreement sets forth

22 license.

. 1 1. On or about July 31, 1992, Bush was convicted of Theft
2 II in Benton County District Court.
_ 3 2. On or about January 8, 1997, Bush was convicted of
4 misdemeanor negotiating a bad check in Lake Oswego Municipal
5 Court.
6 3. On or about June 5, 1997, Bush was convicted of felony
7 Theft I in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
8 4. On June 6, 1997, Bush completed a C-l Application Form
9 for renewal of her license and failed to disclose her prior
10 criminal convictions.
11 5. The PEER form that was submitted by Bush on June 6 along
12 with the C-l Application contained a signature allegedly from
13 Mike Furrer, the Hillsboro Assistant Superintendent. Mr. Furrer
‘ 14 reviewed the signature and denied it is his. Bush does not admit
15 forging Mr. Furrer's signature. Because there are other
16 stipulations that warrant revocation, it is unnecessary for the
17 Commission to resolve this allegation.
18 6. Bush has been diagnosed as having a serious mental
19 illness that contributed to her misconduct described above. Bush
20 acknowledges that her mental illness does not forgive her
21 misconduct. However, she believes it is mitigating. Bush has
22 made a commitment to treatment for her mental illness and is
23 hopeful of a successful outcome.
24 7. Upon completion of her treatment, Bush may seek to
25 obtain her teaching license. However, at this point in time she
26 acknowledges that revocation of her license is warranted and she
