a. That would potentially place a student or students in physical or emotional jeopardy;
b. Where the nature or circumstances of the conduct so detract from the educator's professional standing as to render the educator unfit for continued certification based on the educator's inability to perform assigned duties; and

(4) Falsification or misrepresentation of information provided in connection with an application for certification or endorsement or renewal or reinstatement discovered subsequent to issuance of the certificate;
