I thought there were two dogs.
You know, I’m a bit confused. I’m not sure which State Board screwed up. South Carolina or Colorado. First let’s start with if Colorado credibly accepted her as an out of state teacher or did she apply for new certification in CO. Here are the requirements:
Important notes: Colorado issues licenses/endorsements in one of two ways:
- If you hold a valid teacher license (not substitute, temporary, emergency, provisional or probationary) issued by another state that carries an identical endorsement (subject matter and grade level(s)) to one issued by Colorado, meet the degree and program requirement for that endorsement, including student teaching and field experience, AND have three years of full-time licensed teaching experience in that state within the past seven years, Colorado will issue a professional license with the identical endorsement requested.
- If you do not meet these requirements completely, Colorado is required to issue licenses in the endorsement area of preparation, as verified on an approved program verification form. If upon evaluation it is determined that you need to first pass a content exam in order to qualify for this endorsement, we will issue an interim authorization, which will allow you to teach while you prepare for and fulfill the exam requirement. (Upon submission of an application with a copy of the official test score report, we will then issue either an initial or a professional license, based on your years of out-of-state, licensed teaching experience)
2. What is an Interim Authorization?
If you hold or are eligible to hold a license in another state, you may qualify for an interim authorization, which Colorado state statute allows to be issued in certain instances when a candidate meets the degree and program requirements, but still needs to fulfill additional requirements (usually a content exam or exams) for a full Colorado license. This authorization is issued for one year and is renewable once.

***I’m trying to find the effective date of the Colorado teaching certificate. I really want the date of the CO application for credentialing.
The following does not make sense with the timeline:
On her Linked In profile, Letecia claims to have gone back to work after that suspension and worked as an Education Specialist for the state until 2018.
The Board of Education confirmed this, telling The Sun that Letecia took a job in Dorchester County in 2017, and the following year in Berkeley County.
She was certified to teach elementary school, special education and secondary social studies Colorado as of March 2019, but is unclear if she ever began at any schools in the area.

Letecia Stauch has prior addresses in Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet and Mount Pleasant, S.C., and in Lumberton and Pembroke N.C., according to a public records search. She has also gone by the names Hardin and Hunt.
In South Carolina, Letecia Stauch was cited with domestic violence-first offense, a misdemeanor, in November 2010, but the case was dropped.
In North Carolina, she was placed on probation in 2001 and 2002, after being cited with communicating threats in February 2001, simple assault in April 2001 and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in June 2001, according to North Carolina state prison records. Details of those crimes, including where they were committed, weren’t available.
Letecia Stauch received a Colorado license to teach elementary school, special education and secondary social studies in March 2019, according to the Colorado Department of Education
She accused Hiott of contributing to what she called “harassment and retaliation” when she worked for seven days as a middle school social studies teachers in Marion County School District in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Board of Education suspended her educator certification to teach in May 2016 for six months for “breach of contract in abandoning her teaching duties” with the district.
