What was the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission's final ruling, Katie, on Stanek?
So the language in the final settlement from TSP says that Stanish, Stanek relinquished the ability to renew his expired teaching license.
It feels like it's just been so long coming that it [laughs] it's hard to feel like a resolution when he's done this to so many other people.
And of course, like, I have regret of I should have told more people, right? Or kept going to somebody until somebody did something, or maybe when I got that call from, you know, Mr.
Heath, not have been wrapped up in college, but have said, you know, yeah.
But I didn't, and so the resolution has to be as, as good as it can get.
Katie, can you describe what's publicly available about the TSPC's f- final order?
Yeah, so that final order is a three-page document, um, that talks about him relinquishing his right to renew his expired license.
Um, some of the information that we found in documents from the investigation report, that's not widely available publicly, but it is part of the public record, so anyone can go and request that information through the TSPC and, um, and get that information.
Um, you know, we, we have our speculations and, but we don't have a definitive answer, despite really, really digging in here.
Um, as part of our investigation, we spoke with Eric Turack, who was the interim director of professional practices at TSPC, um, during the time of our investigation, and, you know, he couldn't speak to any particular case, but generally speaking, he said every case has their weaknesses.
Um-And so, you know, the TSPB negotiates with the educator or their legal counsel, so the language that is in the document and, um, if there's any, you know, disciplinary actions that come out of it.
And so, you know, work- we just, we have the information that we have, and, um, you know, we do know that it d- it was a three-year process, um, from the time that report was made, um, in 2022 to when the final order document was published in late 2025.
