KY House committee advances bill requiring teaching applicants to reveal past misconduct allegations
Fox News
A House committee in Kentucky has passed a bill that would require teachers to reveal past misconduct allegations when they apply for jobs in other school districts.
Tipton, the committee chairman, said he introduced the measure in response to a series of stories last year by the Lexington Herald-Leader that focused on teacher sexual misconduct.
The bill aims to make sure that Kentucky school administrators are aware when a teacher applying for a job in their district was previously accused of sexual misconduct.
