The Washington State House on Monday unanimously passed legislation from 17th District Rep. Paul Harris that would give educators with a reprimand an opportunity for redemption.  House Bill 1113 would require the Professional Educator Standards Board to adopt rules for reviewing and vacating reprimands issued to certificated professional educators that did not involve a student.  Currently, there is no process in place to vacate a reprimand on an educator’s certificate.  Harris noted the policy does would not include teachers with reprimands involving students, but educators with minor infractions would be given an opportunity to clear their record.  HB 1113 would not require the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to notify eligible people, but it would direct the OSPI to report to the Legislature the number of people with a certificate or permit who have submitted a petition to have a reprimand vacated under the PESB rules.  The OSPI would also be required to report the number of people who had a reprimand vacated under the PESB rules.  The bill now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
