AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the U.S. Department of Education, working with the Attorney General, to create a National Educator Misconduct and Discipline Registry that records educator discipline related to sexual misconduct involving students. Schools and districts would have to report misconduct findings, related firings or discipline, and resignations during investigations within 48 hours, and schools would have to check the registry before hiring for jobs with student contact. Schools could not make agreements that hide information about substantiated misconduct, and states or districts that do not report could lose some federal education grants or face civil penalties. The bill would also create a federal task force to study registry data, report yearly to Congress, and help states with compliance and prevention.
