Schools would share records of educators involved in misconduct to protect students.
This bill would create a national registry to track educators with substantiated misconduct, making it harder for them to get new jobs with children. Schools would have to report misconduct quickly, and other schools would check the registry before hiring, aiming to keep students safer.
Today, there is no national system to track educators involved in sexual misconduct, allowing some to move between schools without their past being known. This bill would create a national registry. It would also require schools to report misconduct within 48 hours and check the registry before hiring. This would make it harder for offenders to find new jobs with students. These new reporting rules would start 12 months after the bill becomes law, and the national registry would be fully working within 24 months.
