What’s in it
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill modifies the board of educational examiners’ (BOEE) reporting requirements related to the investigation of complaints against licensees and nonlicensed school employees. Current law provides that all investigative information in the possession of the BOEE, which relates to licensee discipline, is privileged and confidential, and is not subject to discovery, subpoena, or other means of legal compulsion for their release to a person other than the respondent and the BOEE, and are not admissible in evidence in a judicial or administrative proceeding other than the proceeding involving licensee discipline.
Read the full explanation
The bill provides that these same protections apply to the investigation of a nonlicensed school employee. Additionally, the bill establishes that, notwithstanding these protections, if the investigative information in the possession of the BOEE indicates that a crime has been committed by either a licensee or a nonlicensed school employee, the BOEE is required to report the investigative information to the proper law enforcement agency.
