California Lawmakers Pass Bill to Punish Administrators Who Fail to Vet Teachers for MisconductBusiness

California Lawmakers Pass Bill to Punish Administrators Who Fail to Vet Teachers for Misconduct

California Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi authored a bill, passed by the legislature last week, that would allow the state to punish administrators who fail to fully vet teacher applicants as well as discipline educators who do not disclose their full employment histories when applying for jobs. Rich Pedroncelli/AP California lawmakers unanimously passed legislation last week to ensure that school administrators are informed about past accusations of misconduct against teachers as part of their hiring process. The legislation follows a KQED-ProPublica investigation revealing how delays and inaction, combined with a lack of transparency, allowed educators to get new jobs after school districts reported them to the state teacher licensing agency for sexual harassment or other misconduct. Our reporting found that at least 14 educators were hired by new schools after their former employers determined they had sexually harassed students or committed other sexual misconduct. The bill , authored by Democratic Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, is an attempt to make sure that doesn’t happen again, adding teeth to background check mandates in place since 2025.

News live: capital city house prices fall below $1m; Penny Wong has ‘grave concerns’ for missing Australians in Nepal

Sydney and Brisbane are back to being the only capitals with median prices above $1m. Follow updates live The median price in the capitals surpassed $1m for the first time back in October but has steadily fallen this year with demand suppressed by rising interest rates and weak confidence in the economy. By the end of August, it fell to $990,394, Cotality found. The typical home price in Perth passed $1m in March, but slipped to $999,987 by the end of August. Longer selling times, larger vendor discounting and persistently low auction clearance rates all point to a buyer’s market, yet buyers are lacking the confidence to transact at the moment.
