EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding investigations conducted by the Idaho Professional Standards Commission.

This bill revises how Idaho's Professional Standards Commission handles investigations into teachers' alleged unethical conduct. It requires the commission to notify both the complainant and teacher in writing within 14 days if an investigation begins, and mandates that hearings must occur within 90 days of a request. The bill also specifies that hearings must be held in the teacher's school district (or a convenient location for all parties) and clarifies that school districts may resolve some cases locally before commission involvement. These changes directly affect teachers facing complaints, school districts, and the commission staff handling investigations.
