What happens if I have a criminal record or prior professional misconduct?

If you answer “YES” to any questions regarding criminal convictions or past employment issues, you must include a signed explanation detailing each incident. Original court documents or administrative records relating to the incidents should also be attached. This information will be reviewed thoroughly, and any misrepresentation or omission can lead to denial or revocation of your coaching permit, so honesty is crucial.

Can I renew my Temporary Emergency Coaching Permit using the ED 186 form?

Yes, the ED 186 form includes a section specifically for renewing your Temporary Emergency Coaching Permit. To renew, provide proof of enrollment in an approved coaching course, an official transcript verifying completed coursework, or evidence of professional development hours in coaching. All renewal applications must also go through the employing agent for their confirmation and approval before being submitted to the Bureau of Educator Standards and Certification.

Common mistakes

Applying for a Temporary Emergency Coaching Permit using the ED 186 form is an important process that requires careful attention. Mistakes can lead to delays or even denial of the permit. One common mistake is not using blue ink and upper case letters for personal information. This requirement is explicitly stated, yet many applicants overlook it. Filling out the form in black ink or using lowercase letters can render the application invalid.

Another frequent error involves answering the questions about criminal history and professional conduct. If an applicant answers "YES" to any of these questions, they must include a signed statement explaining the circumstances. Failing to provide this additional information can lead to the application being rejected. It is crucial to give a complete and honest account of past incidents, as transparency is key.

Inadequately completing the required sections can also cause issues. For instance, applicants often forget to attach important documents, like the high school diploma or CPR certification. Each section of the form has specific documentation requirements. Not providing the proper attachments can result in a longer processing time or a request to resubmit the application with the needed materials.

Lastly, some applicants neglect the attestation part of the form. This section affirms that the information provided is true and complete. Skipping this step or failing to sign it can create further complications. Ensuring every part of the application is filled out thoroughly, and double-checking all requirements is essential for a smooth submission process.
