Relating to misconduct by public school employees and to persons who must be listed in the registry of persons not eligible for employment in public schools.
HB 3991 requires public school districts, charter schools, and related entities to report specific employee misconduct to the State Board for Educator Certification. It mandates reporting when employment ends due to acts like student abuse/neglect, romantic relationships with minors, drug possession (including marijuana), alcohol sales to students, or financial fraud. The bill also defines "neglect" using the Family Code and creates a registry for individuals ineligible for school employment. This directly affects school districts, educators, and charter entities by expanding mandatory reporting requirements to ensure certain misconduct is documented in the state's employment eligibility system.
