flag Maine proposes requiring schools to disclose past misconduct investigations of employees.

flag A Maine bill introduced by Sen. Margaret Rotundo and supported by parent Cara Courchesne would require school employees to disclose past misconduct investigations—including unsubstantiated allegations of harassment, abuse, or substance use—enabling hiring districts to request background information from former employers via the Department of Education. flag The legislation aims to improve transparency, prevent individuals with troubling histories from moving between schools under confidentiality, and ensure investigations are completed and reported, especially when employees leave mid-investigation. flag The bill is set for a hearing in Augusta on February 25, 2026, and aligns with similar laws in at least 18 other states.
