Voted Yes

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker argues the bill closes a loophole that currently prevents school districts from disciplining teachers who have entered deferred prosecution agreements for felonies, citing a specific case where a teacher convicted of felony larceny remained in front of students.

Voted No

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker opposes the bill because deferred prosecution means no guilty plea has been entered into the system, and he believes punishing someone for a crime that has not been fully adjudicated is inappropriate.

Voted Yes

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker supports the bill by distinguishing between those who fight charges in court versus those who accept probation, arguing that districts currently lack authority to address teachers who have accepted a five-year probation period.
