What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last reviewed September 16, 2019, requires the Superintendent to report credentialed employees to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing within 30 days when their employment status changes due to alleged misconduct. Reportable actions include dismissal, suspension over 10 days, non-reelection, unpaid administrative leave, or resignation. The district must report all known information about alleged misconduct, regardless of any settlement agreements with the employee. The Superintendent may also voluntarily report alleged sexual misconduct complaints, contract violations, misuse of student records for business recruitment, or false reporting of fiscal data. These requirements ensure the state credentialing agency is informed about educators who may pose risks, maintaining professional standards across California schools.
What this means for your family
This regulation protects students by ensuring credentialed staff members accused of serious misconduct are reported to state authorities, even if they resign or settle with the district. It prevents problematic educators from quietly moving between districts. For families, this means stronger oversight of the adults working with their children and greater accountability when misconduct allegations arise, enhancing overall school safety.
