Request for reinstatement (discussed in open session): Case No. 21-58, In the Matter 11

of Bethany Taylor. The Respondent created a hostile work environment and exercised 12

learning. / The Respondent received a sanction of: public reprimand, a suspension of 14

her license for 1 year, completion of a 15 hour in person ethics course, and undergo a 15

mental health evaluation and follow through with treatment. The Respondent has 16

completed all requirements and requests that her license be reinstated. The Board felt 17

mental health evaluation and also would like to hear from the respondent on whether 19

or not they feel they have met the requirements. Kristen Rickey moved, with a second 20

Executive Director’s Reports 33

11

Executive Director Cavin took a moment to introduce Meredith Hawk, who was in 1

attendance the meeting, along with current Board Secretary, Kim Cunningham. Kim 2

will be retiring as Board Secretary at the end of the month. Meredith has applied for 3

and been accepted to fill the role of Board Secretary upon Kim’s retirement. Meredith 4

has been with the Board of Educational Examiners over the past year, serving as a 5

Clerk Specialist and working in the area of Substitute Authorizations and Substitute 6

Licensure. The recruiting process has started to hire a replacement for the Clerk 7

Specialist position. The Board thanked Kim for her service to the Board and wished 8

her well in her retirement. 9

10

Executive Director’s Report 11

Legislative Update: 12

Executive Director Cavin (Cavin) and Nicole Proesch (Proesch) had a meeting with a 13

few Representatives, as well as some members of the Governor’s staff, who had some 14

concerns regarding how the Board conducts professional practices and issues arising 15

from them. It is possible that Legislation may be introduced regarding their concerns 16

on the process. Proesch clarified that no cases, nor specifics of cases, were discussed 17

in the meeting, as that is confidential information. The purpose of the meeting was to 18

answer questions regarding process and procedures of the Board. 19

20

It is expected that some legislative bills will be introduced this session, but we do not 21

have a clear picture as to what these will be. 22

23

Agency Update: 24

Kim Cunningham, current Board Secretary, will be retiring at the end of the month. 25

The agency has launched a new website in November. Another upgrade will occur 26

once it is switched to the statewide platform, but no significant impact is expected to 27

occur. 28

29

The Work Experience Authorization has been implemented. The number of Iowa 30

school districts with Work Experience Program has significantly. Much of this growth 31

is due to the Governor and Legislator’s initiative to increase workplace learning. The 32

12

Work Based Learning Authorization has not yet been implemented. Joanne Tubbs will 1

later address these related rules that are currently pending. 2

3

Financial Update: 4

The financial reports were reviewed for the FY 22 hold over as well as for September 5

(FY 23) and October (FY 23). 6

7

Licensure Update 8

November 2022 was the highest November for license issuance in the last 10 years. 9

Conditional licensure increased in the month of October, while Substitute 10

Authorizations have decreased since this time last year. Coaching has also seen an 11

increase. Renewals are about 2 weeks out. An uptick has started due to Iowa 12

graduates applying for licensure and will continue to increase after the holiday break. 13

NASDTEC Professional Educator Standards Board Association (PESBA) Winter 15

Meeting, December 12-13, 2022, (Nevada Dept. of Education, Las Vegas, NV) 16

Executive Director Cavin attended the meeting earlier this week. At the meeting, here 17

was much discussion of defining and developing a national perspective on the role of 18

an educator. Also discussed was teacher preparation, changes that have occurred and 19

what it may look like in the future. Other topics included addressing the teacher 20

shortage urgently and the various teacher apprenticeship program models that exist in 21

other states. 22

23

NASDTEC Annual Conference will take place June 11-13, 2023 in Phoenix, AZ. 24

Petition for Waiver 16

Kristin Rickey moved, with a second by Kathy Behrens, that the Board grant PFW 22-17

09 Rose Aira Fajardo. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Reasons for granting the 18

waiver: On December 1, 2022, the Board received a Petition from Ms. Fajardo 19

requesting a waiver of the rule for the requirements of a teacher’s license. Ms. Fajardo 20

is seeking a waiver of the requirement that she take and pass the Praxis exam. In the 21

spring of 2022 HF 2081 passed, once enacted it eliminated the requirement that in-22

state applicants be required to take and pass the Praxis exam. Ms. Fajardo completed 23

educational studies in the Philippines and is unable to locate a testing area to offer 24

Praxis in Iowa. The applicant was recruited by Prince of Peace Catholic Schools in 25

Clinton, Iowa, to teach preschool and elementary classes. She has 6 years of teaching 26

experience in Singapore and relocated from there to Clinton, Iowa in October to take 27

this position. A denial of this waiver would create undue hardship due to the fact that 28

Ms. Fajardo was unable to find testing in Iowa. If testing is needed before she can 29

obtain a license this has a negative impact on her ability to work in Iowa. The Board 30

was unable to identify any person whose rights would be prejudiced by granting this 31

waiver. Additionally, similar waivers have been granted in the past and the new law 32

does not require in-state or out of state applicants to pass Praxis. The rule from 33

which Ms. Fajardo seeks a waiver is not specifically mandated by statute or any other 34

provision of law, and, accordingly, may be waived by the Board. Ms. Fajardo has 35

14

successfully completed education requirements in her home country and her 1

transcripts have been compared and verified by the agency. She was recruited by 2

Prince of Peace Catholic Schools in Clinton, Iowa to teach preschool and elementary 3

classes. She has 6 years of teaching experience in Singapore and relocated from there 4

to Clinton, Iowa in October to take this position. 5

Kristin Rickey moved, with a second by Kathy Behrens, that the Board grant PFW 22-7

10 Nick Mulder. Roll call vote: Behrens – yes; Bleam – yes; Janzen – no; 8

McKinney – no; Rickey – yes; St Clair – yes; Schoening – yes; Voss - no. 9

MOTION CARRIED. Reasons for granting the waiver: Mr. Mulder is seeking a waiver 10

of the degree requirement for a First Activities Administrators License. The applicant 11

spoke to the director and attorney Proesch on several occasions last year about how to 12

obtain a waiver; however, he did not submit a waiver petition. The applicant was 13

offered a position with Okoboji Schools as the Activities Director in August of 2022 14

and accepted the position. He did not have his license at the time and had not 15

completed the educational requirements either. In the meantime, he took all required 16

athletic administration coursework. The applicant reached out to the Director again 17

in November 2022 from his Okoboji email with his signature indicating he is the 18

Activities Director and has been since August of 2022. On December 5, 2022, the 19

applicant applied for a waiver from the requirements for this license. The applicant 20

does not have the required degree, but has completed required coursework. He will 21

have his coaching authorization completed in December. A denial of this waiver would 22

be a hardship for Mr. Mulder and his family due to the time and monetary burden to 23

obtain an additional degree. The Board was unable to identify any person whose 24

rights would be prejudiced by granting this waiver. The rule from which Mulder seeks 25

a waiver is not specifically mandated by statute or any other provision of law, and 26

accordingly, may be waived by the Board. Mr. Mulder has successfully served as an 27

activities director for Okoboji Schools from August to November 2022. The granting of 28

this waiver would benefit the community, students, and staff. 29

30

Mr. Mulder was present during the discussion of his waiver request. During the 31

discussions with the Board, there was concern from the Board that Mr. Mulder had 32

been hired in a district and practicing without the authorization. Mr. Mulder was 33

15

asked directly by the board if he tried to conceal that he did not have the authorization 1

and if the people who hired him were fully aware that he was not licensed and he 2

responded ‘yes’. 3

4

Chad Janzen moved, with a second by Kathy Behrens, that the Board grant PFW 22-5

11 Dayton Leazer. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Reasons for granting the 6

waiver: On December 6, 2022, the Board received a Petition from Ms. Leazer 7

requesting a waiver of the rule for the requirements of a Class G License. The Board’s 8

administrative rules require that all coursework for the counseling endorsement 9

(except for the internship) be completed prior to the issuance of the Class G license. 10

Ms. Leazer has not completed all coursework required for an issuance of a Class G 11

License. She has completed a bachelor’s degree and is working on finishing her 12

Masters. She is currently enrolled in all academic classes that are required and she 13

will complete them in May of 2023. She is currently working as a long-term substitute 14

teacher at Edward Stone Middle School. The school has a position open for a school 15

counselor. She applied for a waiver in May 2022 and was denied. Since that time, 16

she has completed all coursework except two remaining courses. She will take the 17

remaining courses, Developing, Organizing, and Managing School Counseling 18

Programs/Service and Substance Abuse Counseling in Spring 2023. A denial of this 19

waiver would place Ms. Leazer in a position that would require her to leave the 20

education field while completing the programing. Being able to get a waiver and take a 21

position will allow her to complete a degree while maintaining gainful employment. 22

The Board was unable to identify any person whose rights would be prejudiced by 23

training this waiver. The rule from which Ms. Leazer seeks a waiver is not specifically 24

mandated by statute or any other provision of law, and accordingly, may be waived by 25

the Board. Ms. Leazer successfully served as a long-term substitute at Edward Stone 26

Middle School. By all accounts she maintained a safe and appropriate classroom. 27

The granting of this waiver would benefit the community students, and staff by 28

providing a school counselor. 29

Reports/Approvals 31

Home Base Iowa Report – 2022 (Joanne Tubbs) 32

16

This report summarizes the license that we issued based on allowances that are given 1

to veterans and military spouses through the program, to aid them in obtaining an 2

Iowa teaching license. Many veterans and military spouses have been able to achieve 3

licensure in Iowa due to this important program. 4

5

Licensure Renewal Program Summary – 2022 (Joanne Tubbs) 6

The Licensure Renewal Program Summary is an annual report created for the benefit 7

of the board and also a requirement in our rules for licensure renewal programs to 8

submit an annual report to the board. A survey is sent out in the fall to gather 9

information in the report. The report shows approved Iowa licensure renewal 10

programs and summarizes process improvements that have been made to their 11

programs. 12

There being no further business, Eric St Clair moved, with a second by Kristen Rickey, to 14

adjourn the meeting at 1:17 p.m. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 15

IOWA BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL EXAMINERS

Mission

The mission of the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners is to establish and enforce rigorous standards for Iowa educational practitioners

to effectively address the needs of students.

Beliefs Statements

We Believe:

▪that an effective licensure system is efficient, innovative, and responsive to needs of students and educators.

▪in collaboration with other organizations to improve professional development and preparation programs.

▪that education is a profession.

▪that establishing ethical standards protects students and practitioners.

Principles for the Board of Educational Examiners Budgeting Process

▪Identify a vision and knowledge of the service needs.

o Identify the vision of what the BoEE should be.

o Identify the service and the capital needs of the BoEE.

▪Policies, Goals, Priorities, and Resource Utilizations plans.

o Identify fiscal and economic policies and goals to meet the vision and needs of the BoEE.

o Identify the service and capital policies and goals to meet the vision and needs of the BoEE.

o Identify strategies for managing the BoEE’s fiscal process.

▪Prepare and adopt a fiscal budget that integrates vision, policy, and goals with strategies that are consistent with the current fee

structure. o Develop and implement a process that prepares a revenue and expenditure plan that is based on the vision,

policy, and goals of the Board.

o Establish a yearly plan and multiple year plan for forecasting anticipated revenues.

▪Monitor and control the utilization of resources in meeting the Board’s goals.

o Monitor and control the utilization of resources (expenditures) monthly and make budget adjustments

quarterly. o When possible, identify external factors that may impact the utilization of resources.

o Make adjustments to the goals if budget adjustments cannot meet the anticipated revenues.

IOWA BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL EXAMINERS

The Board of Educational Examiners’ budget was built on the following assumptions and findings:

1. Licensure fees cover all costs for our agency. The Board does not receive an appropriation from the Legislature.

2. 2004 and 2005 legislation changed the revenue stream for the Board, requiring 25% of licensure fees to be deposited directly into the

General Fund. Prior to 2004, expenditures exceeded revenues. Average annual deposits are approximately $600,000.

3. The Board committed to not increasing licensing fees to educators for at least 4 to 7 years from FY06. The Board is currently in year

16 without a licensure fee increase.

4. Costs related to investigations and the prosecution of complaints are not within our control. Annual costs exceed $275,000.

5. FY06 legislation requires the Board to check the sex offender registry, child abuse registry, and the dependent adult abuse registry

when renewing a license. FY16 legislation added checks of Iowa Courts Online for all renewal applications. As a result, background

check fees for renewals only were increased from $1 to $10 in FY17 to help offset these additional costs.

6. We currently employ 13 FTE with and support 10 board members appointed by the Governor.

7. The Board must maintain a cash carryover to cover costs. A minimum balance of $600,000 would cover three months of average

expenditures, excluding General Fund deposit expenditures, should a catastrophic reduction in license applications occur.

8. The General Assembly has made three appropriations from BoEE cash reserves since 2009. In FY09, $300,000 was transferred to

the Department of Education to pay for early head start projects involving children aged birth to year three and $454,000 was transferred

to the Department of Education to pay for the beginning teacher mentoring and induction program, for a total of $754,000. The General

Fund Deposit for FY09 was $580,139, creating a combined expenditure of $1,334,139.

9. In 2015, House File 658 required the BoEE to transfer $600,000 to the Department of Education for purposes of continuing the

career planning required under section 279.61. The appropriated funds paid for one year of the I Have a Plan Iowa career planning

software. The General Fund Deposit for FY15 was $587,182, creating a combined expenditure of $1,187,182.

10. Technology has increased our effective and efficient use of resources. The online licensing system requires approximately $120,

000 to operate annually. This cost was offset by the reduction of one consultant staff position and the elimination of paper

credential mailings.

11. The contract for our previous licensure system expired in June of 2019 and was replaced with a state contract managed through

OCIO, better aligning our services and licensing needs. Continued revisions and updates will be required to maintain the

effectiveness and simplify the use for our customers.

INTRODUCTION

In 1989, the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners became an autonomous body. The

Iowa Board of Educational Examiners is charged with the overall responsibility of

regulating the licensure standards for teachers, administrators, paraeducators, and

coaches. The Board consists of twelve members appointed by the Governor, and

confirmed by the Iowa Senate, to four-year terms. Five members are licensed teachers,

four are licensed administrators, two are public members, and one is the director from

the Iowa Department of Education or her/his designee.

The Board sets standards for the issuance of licenses, certificates, and authorizations to

practitioners, sets standards for license renewal, investigates ethics complaints that meet

jurisdictional requirements that are filed with the Board, and monitors compliance of

licensees with orders issued by the Board. In the last fifteen (15) years, the fewest

number of licenses issued was 19,856 and the highest number was 29,262. The Board

also maintains a Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics. The Board considers

approximately 150 educator discipline cases each year.

To carry out its mission, the Board adopts rules and establishes standards for

practitioners pursuant to its authority under Iowa Code chapter 272. The Board makes

recommendations for rules regarding the practice, discipline, education, and licensure

of educational practitioners. The licensure rules are in chapters 13-24 and 27 of the

Iowa Administrative Code Section 282. The Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics

and the Code of Rights and Responsibilities are in chapters 25 and 26. The following

report is compiled pursuant to Iowa Code section 272.29.
