Appeal -- General.
Any person who applies
directly to the superintendent of public instruction for a
certificate, particular endorsement, certificate renewal, or
certificate reinstatement whose application is denied or any
person who is notified that his or her certificate is
suspended or revoked or that a reprimand order has been issued
shall be advised that he or she is entitled to appeal that
decision to the superintendent of public instruction if he or
she follows the procedures established in this chapter:
Provided, That the appeal procedure may not be used to seek
reinstatement of a certificate if that certificate has been
revoked in the preceding twelve months by the superintendent
of public instruction.
The appeal procedure to the superintendent of public
instruction consists of two levels, one informal and one
formal. The use of the informal level is a condition
precedent to use of the formal level. In addition, ((the
provisions of WAC 181-86-155 provide an additional appeal to
the professional educator standards board and)) RCW 34.05.570
provides for judicial review of such decisions.
