What changed in the latest version
29 added · 33 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill SB 103 clarify the process for revoking a teacher's license in Virginia, particularly if the teacher has been reported for serious misconduct, such as child abuse or neglect. The changes require that once an investigation concludes there is reasonable cause, a hearing on the license revocation must take place within 90 days. Additionally, the school board must also provide the relevant investigative files to the Superintendent of Public Instruction at that time. These updates are important as they aim to ensure a swift response to serious allegations, enhancing accountability and safety in schools.
