Section 6.68.2.11 - PROCEDURES REQUIRED OF A LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD OR GOVERNING AUTHORITY BEFORE GIVING NOTICE TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE BUREAU THAT AN APPLICANT HAS NOT SATISFACTORILY DEMONSTRATED THE COMPETENCIES REQUIRED FOR THE LEVEL OF LICENSURE SOUGHT
A. Before notice is given to the director of the PLB that an applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the competencies required for the level of licensure sought, the following procedures must be followed:
(1) two (2) or more conferences shall have been held with the licensed school person prior to the serving of such notice, and
(2) at least one (1) conference shall be held with the individual's most recent performance evaluator, or immediate supervisor if the most recent performance evaluator is unavailable to confer with the individual, and another conference shall be held with the superintendent of the local school district or with the superintendent's designee who shall be someone other than the first person with whom the licensed individual has conferred, and
(3) at least ninety (90) school days shall have elapsed between the conferences to allow the individual sufficient time to satisfactorily demonstrate the required competencies.
B. A written record of all conferences shall be made, specifying the competency or those competencies that have not been satisfactorily demonstrated, the action suggested by the school or agency or private school administration, which might lead to satisfactory demonstration of such competency or competencies, and the results attained. Each written record shall be signed by all parties to the conference. In the event of refusal to sign, a notation shall be made of the refusal. A copy of each record shall be given to the individual.
C. The superintendent or the person designated by the governing authority of a state agency or private school shall, in the event of notifying the educator of their failure to satisfactorily demonstrate the required competencies, supplement such notice with copies of the records required pursuant to Subsection B of 6.68.2.11 NMAC together with any policies described in Subsection D of 6.68.2.11 NMAC.
D. Local school boards or the governing authorities of state agencies or private schools may develop policies concerning procedures required before giving notice to the director of the PLB that an applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the competencies required for the level of licensure sought; provided, however, that such procedures must include at a minimum those requirements set forth in Subsections A through C of 6.68.2.11 NMAC.
