8 months subject to the conditions that he abstain from the use of
9 intoxicants, that he have no contact with minors except as

14 In entering this stipulation, Huddleston understands that

. 15 the Commission will revoke his right to apply for reinstatement

16 of his teaching license as set forth more fully in the

17 Commission's order. This stipulation and the proposed order are
18 contingent on approval by the full Commission. If the Commission
19 does not approve this stipulation and proposed order as written,
20 it is understood that any waiver of rights by Huddleston is

22 contained in this stipulation may not be used by either party for
23 any reason, should the Commission fail to approve this

8 CONCLUSION OF LAW
9 The conduct described in the foregoing stipulation
10 constitutes gross unfitness in violation of OAR 584-20-040(5).
ll ORDER
ﬂAtk/Pursuant to ORS 342.175(l) and (3), .
12 / The Commission revokes the right of Robert Alan Huddleston
13 to apply for reinstatement of his Oregon Teaching License. If

’ 15 the decision would lie within the discretion of the Commissioners
16 who consider the matter at that time. Without limiting the
17 discretion of future Commissioners, it is expected, at a minimum,
18 that Huddleston would present evidence that he has undergone
19 appropriate treatment for anger management, that he has complied
20 with all conditions of his court ordered sentence and probation,
21 that he has complied with all Standards for the Competent and
22 Ethical Performance of Oregon Educators and that he has otherwise
23 conducted himself as a law abiding citizen.
