Iowa Code r. 661-91.12 - Suspension or revocation of an educator professional permit
(1) When the commissioner finds that a person
who has been issued an educator professional permit has been arrested for a
disqualifying offense or is the subject of proceedings that could lead to the
person's ineligibility for such permit, the commissioner may immediately
suspend the permit.
a. If the arrest or
proceeding does not result in a disqualifying conviction or finding against the
permit holder, the commissioner shall immediately reinstate the educator
professional permit upon proof of the matter's final disposition and shall
return the permit to the permit holder.
b. If the arrest or proceeding results in a
disqualifying conviction or finding against the permit holder, the commissioner
shall revoke the permit.
(2) When the commissioner discovers that a
person has failed to provide the required annual and quarterly training records
in a timely manner, the commissioner will suspend the educator professional
permit and may, at the commissioner's discretion, provide the person 30 days to
provide the required training documentation. If training documentation is not
received after the thirtieth day, the commissioner shall revoke the educator
professional permit.
a. If the suspension was
for failing to provide training records, and training records indicating
training was completed in accordance with Iowa Code section
724.6 as enacted by 2024 Iowa
Acts, House File 2586, and as amended by 2024 Iowa Acts, House File 2652, are
subsequently provided to the Iowa department of public safety within 30 days
after the educator professional permit holder was notified of the suspension,
the commissioner will immediately reinstate the educator professional permit
and return the permit to the permit holder.
b. If the educator professional permit holder
fails to complete the training required under these rules or fails to provide
training documentation to the Iowa department of public safety, the
commissioner will revoke the permit.
(3) An educator professional permit holder
will be notified immediately of such suspension by personal service or
certified mail. The suspension becomes effective upon the educator permit
holder's receipt of such notice. If notified by personal service, the educator
professional permit will be surrendered to the person serving such notice for
return to the commissioner. If notified by certified mail, the educator
professional permit holder will be instructed to return the permit to the
commissioner.
(4) Notification of
an educator professional permit suspension or revocation will be provided to
the superintendent of the school in which the educator professional permit
holder is employed.
