An amended bill requiring teachers accused of sexual misconduct to surrender their licenses during investigations passed the House Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs Committee. This move addresses loopholes where teachers could retire or resign before facing consequences. The Hawaii Teacher Standards Board supports this change to prevent exploitation of the system. The bill aims to increase accountability within the education system and protect students from harm, as highlighted by personal accounts of student assaults and harassment going unaddressed. By ensuring surrendering licenses, teachers’ names would be entered into a national database, preventing them from moving to other states without repercussions.
