HB 1862 Suspension of school employees for first time drug offense.
Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Suspension of school employees. Provides that school employees who are placed on probation as first offenders for drug offenses are not entitled to any escrowed salary or reinstatement. Under current law, a school employee may be suspended for good and just cause when the safety or welfare of the school division or students is threatened or when the school employee has been charged with the commission of a felony or specified misdemeanors, including drug offenses, or with an equivalent offense in another state. During suspension, the school employee's salary is placed in escrow. Upon a finding of not guilty or nolle prosequi, the employee is reinstated and these escrowed funds are returned to the employee; a finding of guilt results in the funds being returned to the school board. This measure addresses cases of probation for first offender status where there is technically no finding of guilt nor is there an acquittal. This bill is identical to SB 1032 (Stolle).
