The Professional Standards Commission approved disciplinary actions for five Idaho educators earlier this month.

The state commission oversees educator certification and investigates potential violations of Idaho’s educator ethics code. It can impose discipline on an educator’s certificate, including suspension or revocation.

Here’s a closer look at the latest disciplinary actions and the educators involved.

Revocations

Wesley Naylor, Richfield School District

Ethics violations: Not maintaining a professional relationship with students

Disciplinary action: Certificate revoked

In September 2025, Naylor grabbed a student’s arm and/or pushed them as they tried to walk out of the classroom after the student ignored Naylor. Naylor pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace related to the incident in December 2025.

Casey Hood, Arizona

Ethics violations: Failing to exemplify honesty and integrity in the course of professional practice

Disciplinary action: Certificate revoked

Hood surrendered her Arizona teaching certificate for five years starting in September 2025 after allegations that she modified expired individualized education plans to make it appear that required meetings had occurred when they had not.

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

Suspension

Michael Robert Driscoll, Boise

Ethics violations: Failure to refrain from the abuse of alcohol or drugs during the course of professional practice

Disciplinary action: Suspension of certificate until completion of an alcohol recovery program

In August 2025, a fellow staff member reported that Driscoll smelled like alcohol and had a cup in his classroom with a liquid that also smelled like alcohol. Driscoll was removed from the classroom. He refused an alcohol test, but the liquid in the cup tested positive for alcohol.

Driscoll agreed to the disciplinary action, which requires him to complete an alcohol recovery program to get his license reinstated.

Letters of reprimand

Jessica Bailey, St. Maries

Ethics violations: Failed to maintain a professional relationship with students

Disciplinary action: Letter of reprimand and completion of an approved-boundaries course

Bailey was accused of crossing professional boundaries with a student by being alone with one of them in a classroom without an educational purpose. She exchanged texts with a student that were unrelated to school instruction or responsibilities, including plans to spend time together doing recreational activities and for the student to help with a project at Bailey’s home.

Bailey agreed to the disciplinary action.

Cheryl Griebenow, Caldwell

Ethics violations: Did not fulfill all terms and obligations detailed in the contract with the local school board of education or education agency for the duration of the contract.

Disciplinary action: Letter of reprimand

Griebenow submitted a letter of resignation in November 2025, which the board of trustees did not accept the following month. Because she was not released from her contract, Griebenow was found to be in violation of the code of ethics.

Griebenow agreed to the disciplinary action.
