Now you can see if the teachers misbehave
I should have mentioned it by now, but the Columbus Dispatch has done some great work with its series called the ABC’s of Betrayal, looking at problems with the state’s efforts to discipline teachers.
As a result of the Dispatch’s efforts, Ohio last week made available for the first time to the public its database of teacher discipline. From a Web site, you can now look up incidents by name, school district or zip code.
For Monday’s DDN, I took a look at the data for Montgomery County and found few serious incidents. Most, but not all incidents of teacher discipline were related to criminal conduct in the teachers’ personal lives.
Give the stories a read and let me know if you were surprised there were not more local cases of serious misconduct. I guess I thought the numbers would be a little higher. But overall, teachers here are pretty well behaved.

I think you mean ‘indiscretions’. And administrators ARE educators- as they have to have a license issued by the state. Thus, they would be in the database,too.By Worried DPS Parent

Good point, Keith. That seems to be true in my district, as well - at least the ones I have heard about or read about.By keith

Where’s the list for the administration end of schools? I can cite more indigressions on the part of administrators than I can on the part of teachers.
