Harris Bill Would Give Reprimanded Educators Second Chance

Washington 17th District State Representative Paul Harris has introduced a bill to give educators who have received a reprimand the 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.  Currently, there is no process in place to vacate a reprimand on an educator’s certificate.  Harris says he brought the issue forward last session because he believes people deserve a second chance, and teachers sometime make poor judgments that can result in reprimand on their educator certificate that can limit career opportunities and advancement.  The bill received a public hearing on Tuesday in the House Education Committee.
