Relating to the reporting of certain public school employee misconduct to local law enforcement.
HB 2206 requires school administrators (including superintendents, directors, and principals) to report certain employee misconduct to local police or sheriff's offices within 48 hours of becoming aware of allegations. It applies specifically when educators are alleged to have committed misconduct involving criminal acts as defined in the Education Code (subsections (b)(2)(A)/(A-1) and (c)(1)(A)/(B)). Failure to report can result in administrative fines ($500-$10,000) for educators or felony charges for intentional concealment. The bill mandates these reports to ensure timely law enforcement involvement in serious incidents involving school staff.
