DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Professional Standards and Practices Commission; Application of Homer L. Smith, Jr. for Reinstatement of Teaching Certificate; Doc. No. RE-96-03; Notice of Opportunity for Hearing and Invitation to Protest

[27 Pa.B. 5100]

   Under the Teacher Certification Law (24 P. S. §§ 2070.1--2070.18) (law), the Professional Standards and Practices Commission (Commission) will consider the application of Homer L. Smith, Jr. for reinstatement of his teaching certificate in Music Education.

   Homer L. Smith, Jr. filed an application for reinstatement of his teaching certificate on September 9, 1996 under section 16 of the Teacher Certification Law (24 P. S. § 2070.16), §§ 35.1 and 35.2 of the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure (1 Pa. Code §§ 35.1--35.2) and 22 Pa. Code § 233.14 (relating to reinstatements). Under section 16 of the law, the Department of Education (Department) on July 22, 1997, requested that the Commission deny Mr. Smith's application for reinstatement. This decision was based on Mr. Smith's failure to cooperate with the Department's required investigation of the request.

   In accordance with the law, the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure and 22 Pa. Code § 233.14 (d) (relating to waiver of hearing), the Commission will act upon the application without hearing, unless within 30 days after the publication of this notice a written request for public hearing is filed with the Commission, along with a notice of intervention, a petition to intervene or protest in accordance with 1 Pa. Code §§ 35.23 and 35.24 (relating to protest) or 1 Pa. Code §§ 35.27--35.32 (relating to intervention). All petitions to intervene, protests and requests for hearing shall be filed with Dr. Warren D. Evans, Executive Director of the Professional Standards and Practices Commission, at 333 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17126-0333, on or before 4 p.m. on the due date prescribed by this notice. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing, if held, and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate, should contact Suzanne B. Markowicz at (717) 787-6576 to discuss how the Commission may best accommodate their needs.
