SECOND LOOK AT SB 1105 PROVIDES CLARITY
Late last week the Senate Education Committee took a second look at the CTC sponsored Senate Bill 1105 (Margett).  You will recall this is proposed legislation that would treat a  plea of "no contest" the same as a "guilty" plea when applied to revoking a teaching credential.  It also would allow the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to disclose the findings of the Committee of Credentials beyond the current one year limit handicap.  The Committee postponed action at its original hearing due to opposition presented by the California Teachers Association.
Action to approve SB 1105 this time was solid and unanimous.  It is good to note that we were only one of several organizations in support of this legislation.  A group that included (surprise!) both the California District Attorneys Association and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
The bill now moves on to the Senate Committee on Rules.
