What’s in it
AI summary Schools must immediately put certain employees on leave if they are being investigated for child abuse or if a court found them negligent in a legal case. This rule applies to public schools, charter schools, and private schools. The employee must stay on leave until the investigation or legal case is completely finished.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to immediately place an employee on administrative leave if the employee has a case pending before the board of educational examiners (BOEE) related to the abuse of a child with a finding of probable cause, or if, while employed by the school, the employee was involved in any criminal or civil action in which a court found that the employee was negligent and the school is investigating the employee’s actions. An employee placed on administrative leave pursuant to the bill’s provisions must remain on administrative leave until the case before the BOEE or the school’s investigation is complete.
