Austin (KXAN) – Texas Education Agency (Tea) Do not employ the record It grows every year.
On Wednesday, the state’s education council spent in the afternoon to discuss the list and what it can be done to improve.
The record is a general research database, warning to boycott a school who is not employed.
“In the 2024 fiscal year, 536 individuals were subject to the enforcement of the officials and placed in the non -employment list,” said Mike Tea Commissioner Moor.
The non -employment record began in 2020 and had about 1500 people in the record, but over the years they continued to see more people.
In the fiscal year 2020, 288 people were added, but after one year, this number increased to 375 people.
Tea puts both accredited and non -accredited teachers in a crime record such as engaging in the abuse of a child, engaging in a romantic relationship with a student, or committing a crime with a student.
Taking strict measures on these bad apples is the highest mind for some legislators in Capitol in Texas.
At the meeting of the Senate Committee on Tuesday, legislators showed support from the two parties for legislation that would increase penalties for school leaders who failed to report suspected sexual assault and a draft law raised by the KXAN investigation, which will increase the authority of the Texas Education Agency in investigating accused school contractors.
During the plenary session, where many witnesses detailed their personal experiences with sexual misconduct on the campus, Senator Paul Betinkurt, R-Houston, said that he intends to provide a newer version of the Senate Law 571, which aims to increase the number of employee tea tea can achieve in panic, including contractors and non-accredited employees.
