Summary

Existing law prohibits a permanent school employee from being dismissed, except for one or more of certain enumerated causes, including egregious misconduct, as defined. Existing law prohibits school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools from entering into an agreement that would authorize expunging from a school employee's personnel file credible complaints of, substantiated investigations into, or discipline for, egregious misconduct, unless the documents contain allegations that have been the subject of a hearing before an arbitrator, school board, personnel commission, Commission on Professional Competence, or administrative law judge, in which the employee prevailed, the allegations were determined to be false, not credible, or unsubstantiated, or a determination was made that the discipline was not warranted. This bill would also prohibit school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools from directly expunging from an employee's personnel file credible complaints of, substantiated investigations into, or discipline for, egregious misconduct, unless documents containing allegations that have been the subject of a hearing before an arbitrator, school board, personnel commission, Commission on Professional Competence, or administrative law judge, in which the employee prevailed, the allegations were determined to be false, not credible, or unsubstantiated, or a determination was made that the discipline was not warranted.
