What it does

This bill relates to education by modifying provisions related to a process for investigating complaints against school employees and the responsibilities of the department of education (DE) and the board of educational examiners (BOEE). Current law requires the director of DE to develop and implement a process for the reporting and investigation of any incident that arises that may reasonably lead to the conclusion that any individual who is employed by the board of directors of a school district, the authorities in charge of an accredited nonpublic school, or the governing board of a charter school has committed a felony or, in the case of an individual with a license, endorsement, certification, authorization, or statement of recognition issued by the BOEE, has engaged in other prohibited conduct.
