Summary
KQED and ProPublica are collaborating on an investigative reporting project examining how California handles cases of alleged teacher misconduct. The state's Commission on Teacher Credentialing releases minimal details about cases, leaving the public uninformed. Through interviews and record reviews, the investigation found dozens of cases where teachers' licenses were not revoked despite findings of sexual misconduct. The article is a call for public assistance, asking individuals with experience in the state's opaque teacher disciplinary process to share their stories.
