13-43-28.1. Complaint requesting revocation or suspension of certificate--Contents--Additional evidence. If the Professional Teachers Practices and Standards Commission determines that proceedings to revoke or suspend the certificate of a teacher should be instituted as provided in § 13-43-28, the commission shall file a written complaint with the secretary of the Department of Education. The commission's complaint shall specify the nature and character of the charges. The secretary may base the revocation or suspension decision solely upon review of the commission's hearing record, or the secretary may require additional evidence, either by affidavit, document, or testimony upon the secretary's own motion or upon the request of any party. The commission's determination to institute proceedings seeking revocation or suspension of a certificate is not a final agency action and may not be appealed to court.
