A Minnesota board was justified when it rejected a substitute teaching license for a former police officer who fatally shot a Black man during a traffic stop in 2016, an appeals court ruled Monday. The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the findings of the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, which concluded Jeronimo Yanez did not meet the moral standards required to teach in public schools. The court had sent the case back to the licensing board in 2022 to reconsider its initial rejection of Yanez's teaching license application, which was based on “immoral character or conduct.”
