Whenever the holder of any credential issued by the State
Board of Education or the Commission for Teacher Preparation and
Licensing is charged with immoral or unprofessional conduct or
evident unfitness for service or persistent defiance of, and refusal
to obey, the laws regulating the duties of his position, the
commission in its discretion after notifying the person charged of
its intention to do so, may require the county board of education of
the county in which he is serving or has last served to give notice
of, and conduct, a hearing of the charges in the manner prescribed by
law for the hearing of charges for private admonition, or for the
revocation or suspension of a certificate by a county board of
education.
   The county board of education, after the hearing, shall report to
the commission its findings, and a summary of the evidence, and shall
make a definite recommendation concerning the revocation or
suspension of the credential.
   Upon receipt of a copy of the findings, summary of evidence, and
recommendation, the commission may privately admonish the holder of
the credential, or suspend or revoke the credential for the causes
stated, or order the charges dismissed.
