Registry of Charter School Teachers and Administrators
(1) No persons shall serve as a teacher or administrator (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 or charter school administrator in accordance with 342.125(5).
(2) TSPC shall create a Public Charter School Registry for all non-licensed persons who are employed as teachers or administrators in any charter school.

(a) Description of the specific teaching or administrative position the applicant will fill with the employing charter school;
(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;

(d) A description of the applicant’s post-secondary education and other experience relevant to the teaching or administrator position the applicant is seeking;
(e) A list of any professional licenses held; and

(4) Successful completion of the background checks disclosing no disqualifying materials or information will entitle the registrant to serve as a teacher or administrator as defined in ORS 342.120 in the employing charter school for a period of up to three (3) years or until employment with the employing charter school ceases, whichever occurs first.
(5) The registration is not transferrable to another charter school without an application for a registration change with TSPC.
