Modifies provisions governing certificates of license to teach
HB 3031 modifies Missouri's teacher certification rules by expanding grounds for license discipline and revocation. It automatically revokes teaching licenses for teachers convicted of specific serious offenses, including sexual crimes against children, murder, and certain felonies, as listed in subsection 6. School districts and the state education department can file disciplinary charges for violations like fraud, incompetence, or criminal convictions, with hearings requiring 30 days' notice. Teachers facing license revocation can appeal to the state board of education within 90 days, with a hearing process outlined in the bill.
