CINDI MARIE CORRIE ) OAH Case N0.: 800577

On June 10, 2008, the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission
(“Commission”) issued its Notice of Denial of Application for School Counseling
License and Opportunity for Hearing alleging that Cindi Marie Corrie did not meet the
requirements for an Initial School Counseling License under temporary administrative
rule 584-070-0013 (effective April l, 2006, through October l, 2006).

On June 26, 2008, Ms. Corrie requested a hearing. The Commission referred the
matter to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) for a contested case hearing
which was held in Salem at the OAH on December 3, 2008. Ms. Corrie failed to appear
at this heating.

Based on Ms. Corrie’s failure to appear at the hearing, the Commission finds her
in default and enters the following order based on the records and files of the
Commission in this matter.

II. FINDINGS OF FACT

1. On March 9, 2006, the Commission adopted a temporary rule, OAR 584-070-
0013, which allowed Oregon Department of Education Certified Child
Development Specialists meeting certain requirements to become Initial School
Counselors.

2. This temporary rule, former OAR 584-070-0013, went into effect April 1, 2006,
and expired October 1, 2006. The Commission allowed Certified Child
Development Specialists to apply for the Initial School Counselor License. At the
time Ms. Corrie applied for the Initial School Counselor License she was not an
Oregon Department of Education Certified Child Development Specialist as
required under OAR 584-070-0013(1) and (3). The PEER report submitted with
her application indicated that her Child Development Specialist status existed
from 1994 to 2002.

3. Pursuant to ORS 342.125(1) and OAR 584-050-0005(l)(a) the Commission has
no legal authority to issue a license for which an applicant is not qualified.

4. On December 3, 2008, a contested case hearing on the matter was convened. Ms.
Corrie failed to appear. She received notice of the hearing from the OAH in a
prehearing conference and in writing, and from the Department of Justice when
exhibits were submitted.

III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. Former OAR 584-070-0013, required in part that the applicant be a currently
Certified Child Development Specialist.

2. Ms. Corrie’s application failed to meet the requirements of former OAR 584-070-
0013 because she was not a Certified Child Development Specialist at the time
she applied for an Initial School Counselor License.

3. Pursuant to ORS 342.125(1) and OAR 584-050-0005(l)(a) the Commission has
no legal authority to issue a license for which an applicant is not qualified.

IV. ORDER
The application for Initial School Counselor License of Cindi Marie Corrie is
DENIED.
