The Professional Standards Commission on Wednesday approved disciplinary actions for eight Idaho educators.

Here’s a closer look at who was disciplined, and how.

Note: Educators listed without a school district were likely not working at an Idaho school when their ethics violations occurred, though they either had or applied for an Idaho certification at some point.

Revocations

Chad Joseph Longley

Ethics violations: Pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of a child or an equivalent crime.

Disciplinary action: Certificate permanently revoked.

Longley pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography in federal court in February 2025. He was sentenced to nearly 12 years in prison.

Joshua Charles Robinson, Vision Charter School

Ethics violations: Failing to maintain a professional relationship with students.

Disciplinary action: Certificate revoked.

In April 2025, Vision Charter School investigated Robinson’s behavior after complaints of inappropriate interactions with students. Multiple female high schoolers reported that Robinson held their hand. A student rested their head on Robinson’s shoulder while he was in a car with multiple students. Robinson texted a female student multiple times, including after 2 a.m. and tried to influence students’ statements to administrators during the investigation. He shared details of his abuse and trauma with students. Robinson ultimately resigned from Vision Charter School.
