Registry of Charter School Teachers
(1) No persons shall serve as a
teacher (as defined in ORS 342.120) in a public charter school unless such
person either holds a valid Oregon license issued by TSPC pursuant to 338.135
or is registered with TSPC as a charter school teacher in accordance with
342.125(5).
(2) TSPC shall create a Public
Charter School Registry for all non-licensed persons who are employed and
registered as teachers in any charter school.
(3) To obtain a charter school
teacher registration, an applicant and the employing charter school will submit
a joint application, which will include the following documentation:
(a) Description of the specific
teaching position the applicant will fill with the employing charter school
plus an indication of the exact subjects the educator will be teaching;
(b) Fingerprints on forms prescribed
by the Oregon State Police and in the manner required by TSPC. Fingerprint
cards previously filed with the Oregon Department of Education do not qualify;
(c) Completed application and fee;
(d) Transcripts of the applicant’s
post-secondary education and evidence of other experience and qualifications
relevant to the teaching position the applicant is seeking;
(e) A list of any professional
licenses held; and
(f) A passing score on a
commission-approved test of knowledge of U.S. and Oregon civil rights laws and
professional ethics unless these requirements have already been met through
prior TSPC licensure.
(4) The registration is not
transferrable to another charter school without an application for a
registration change with TSPC.
(5) A charter school registration may
be renewed for an additional three-year term upon joint application of the
registrant and employing charter school on forms established by the Commission
and upon the payment of the applicable fee.
