Director, stated:
i If a request for hearing is not received within this 21-day period, your right to
18 hearing shall be considered waived unless your failure to request a hearing was
19 beyond your reasonable control. If you do not request a hearing or if you fail to
20 appear at a hearing, the Commission will uphold the denial of your application for
21 an Oregon teaching license.
ii Based on the foregoing, the Commission finds Brenda Cathleen Mace in default and
24 such default is hereby entered. Based on the records and files of the Commission, the

27 1. Ms. Mace held a Transitional Teaching License with an endorsement in Early
28 Childhood Education and Elementary Multiple Subjects Self-Contained, issued September 3,
29 1999, valid until September 3, 2002. A Transitional Teaching License is issued for three years

i 1 signed by B. Cathleen Mace along with additional documentation for renewal of her

1 Transitional Teaching License. Ms. Mace was notified that her Transitional Teaching License
. was not renewable and that she would need to qualify for an Initial Teaching License pursuant
3 to OAR 584-060-0011.
4 3. On March 27, 2003, Ms. Mace submitted documentation to satisfy the recent
5 experience requirements; however did not provide evidence of her knowledge of U.S. and
6 Oregon civil rights laws by documenting success on an examination approved for that purpose
7 by TSPC.
8 CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
9 Ms. Mace previously held a Transitional Teaching License which is not renewable
10 pursuant to OAR 584-060-0161; therefore her application for a Transitional Teaching License is
11 denied. Under current rules, Ms. Mace must apply for an Initial Teaching License, but she has
12 not provided evidence of her knowledge of U.S. and Oregon civil rights laws pursuant to OAR
13 584-060-0011(1)(e).
