An Act relative to public school workplace security

This bill (HD 1518) protects Massachusetts public school educators and staff from retaliation by administrators for reporting misconduct or advocating for student well-being. It creates anonymous district-level review boards staffed by teachers, administrators, and community members to investigate complaints of retaliation, such as unfair performance reviews or unsafe work assignments. Administrators found engaging in retaliatory actions face disciplinary measures, including termination or loss of licensure, and complaints will be investigated by the Attorney General's Office instead of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education due to conflicts of interest. School districts must also submit annual reports to the state legislature detailing complaints, investigations, and outcomes.
