Bill Summary
Board of Education; automatic revocation of teaching licenses upon certain convictions. Requires the Board of Education to automatically revoke the teaching license of a license holder upon receiving a record of the license holder's conviction of a felony and order to register under the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry Act. The bill provides that any such revocation applies to any active teaching license and to any inactive teaching license if such license was active at the time that the offense occurred. The bill provides that no such license holder whose teaching license has been so revoked is entitled to a hearing but that the license may be reinstated by the Board if the license holder's conviction is overturned on appeal and the Board is satisfied that reinstatement is in the best interest of the public schools of the Commonwealth.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Board of Education must automatically revoke the teaching license of any educator convicted of a felony and ordered to register under the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry Act, a law designed to track individuals convicted of sex offenses and crimes against minors. This revocation applies to both active and inactive teaching licenses if the offense occurred while the license was active. Importantly, individuals whose licenses are revoked under this provision are not entitled to a hearing, though their license may be reinstated if the conviction is overturned on appeal and the Board deems it in the best interest of public schools.
