What’s in it

AI summary The Board of Educational Examiners currently has a three-year limit for investigating complaints about licensed school employees. This new rule removes that time limit if the complaint involves a teacher soliciting or having an inappropriate romantic relationship with a student. This change means these specific types of misconduct can be investigated regardless of how much time has passed.1

Read the official explanation

_____ students. Current law requires the BOEE to adopt rules related to the filing of complaints against individuals who hold a license, certificate, authorization, or statement of recognition issued by the BOEE. Current law also requires that the conduct providing the basis for the complaint to have occurred within three years of discovery of the event by the complainant unless good cause can be shown for an extension of the three-year limitation. The bill provides that the three-year limitation shall also not apply if the conduct constitutes soliciting, encouraging, or consummating a romantic or otherwise inappropriate relationship with a student.
