Ontario College of Teachers v Rouse, 2013 ONOCT 79

Teacher's certificate revoked following criminal conviction for internet luring and sexually explicit communication with a student.

The Member, an elementary occasional teacher, pleaded guilty to professional misconduct following a criminal conviction for internet luring of a minor.

Between November 2007 and May 2009, the Member communicated in a sexually explicit manner with a student via the internet, encouraging sexual acts and attempting to arrange meetings for a sexual relationship.

The Discipline Committee found the Member guilty of professional misconduct, revoked his Certificate of Qualification and Registration, and ordered publication of the decision with his name, emphasizing the need for specific and general deterrence.

Ontario College of Teachers v. Ferris, 2013 ONOCT 19

Teacher suspended for two months for inappropriate social media communications with students and misleading officials.

The Member, a teacher, pled no contest to allegations of professional misconduct arising from inappropriate Facebook and text message communications with students, taking a student off school property for lunch without permission, and misleading Board officials about his conduct.

The Discipline Committee found the Member guilty of professional misconduct.

Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee ordered a reprimand, a two-month suspension, and the completion of a course on professional boundaries.

The Committee also ordered the publication of the Member's name in the College's official publication, rejecting the Member's argument for privacy.
