Title 20 . Miscellaneous Boards and Commissions
Chapter 10 . Professional Teaching Practices Commission
Section 210. Complaint processing

20 AAC 10.210. Complaint processing

(a) Upon receipt of a complaint, the commission staff shall determine whether the complaint sets out facts that, if true, would constitute a basis under AS 14.20 upon which the commission could impose a sanction on the educator. If the commission staff determines that a complaint is not sufficient upon its face, the staff shall dismiss the complaint without investigation.

(b) Unless the alleged act would be grounds for discipline under AS 14.20.030 , the staff may not investigate school district personnel actions, including hiring, evaluation, transfer, reassignment, or dismissal of staff, or curriculum actions.

(c) The commission staff may decline to accept a complaint until locally available remedies have been pursued.

(d) Before completing an investigation, the staff shall provide the respondent with an opportunity to respond to the complaint.

(e) After beginning an investigation the staff may

(1) file an accusation requesting discipline under AS 14.20.030 ;

(2) negotiate with the educator for an agreement, to bring before the commission for approval, for the imposition of discipline; or

(3) dismiss the complaint.

(f) If a complaint is dismissed under (a), (b), or (e)(3) of this section, the staff shall notify the complainant and advise the complainant of the right to review under 20 AAC 10.220.
