Commission grants provisional guardian certification extension for Alicia Woolridge
Summary
The commission voted to allow Alicia Woolridge to serve an additional provisional guardian term while she completes the next guardianship exam. Staff noted Rule 7.4(g)(1) would not ordinarily permit a second original certification, but the commission exercised discretion to approve a temporary extension.
The commission voted to allow Alicia Woolridge to serve an additional term as a provisional guardian until she completes the next certification exam.
Chair Sid Earl opened item 13 and staff explained Woolridge previously held provisional certification in 2008, was fully certified in 2009, later moved out of state and allowed her certification to lapse. Staff said Woolridge is currently employed in a non-guardian role as a program supervisor and is requesting a second provisional certification as a stopgap until she can take the next exam. Staff noted Rule 7.4(g)(1) does not allow the licensing office to grant a second original certification but the commission may grant the request.
Alicia Woolridge confirmed the staff summary and said she had nothing further to add. The commission took a motion and second to permit her to serve an additional provisional term; the motion passed with no opposition recorded on the transcript.
The chair and staff stated the extension is intended to allow Woolridge to sit for the next available exam (staff discussed a December exam date). The commissions action was limited to the provisional certification extension pending successful completion of the next exam; no other change to Woolridges certification status was recorded on the transcript.
The record shows the commission considered the request under its discretionary authority and approved the extension. The commission did not record an individual roll-call vote in the transcript excerpt provided; minutes should be consulted for a formal tally.
