Illinois investigates teacher abuse cases and discipline
The Illinois State Board of Education revoked or suspended licenses for 25 educators from 2001 to 2005 for offenses from sexual assault to child pornography. ISBE reviews each case individually to decide revocation or suspension. State law requires reporting suspected child abuse to the Department of Children and Family Services and mandates background checks for all applicants including teachers, food service workers, and bus drivers. School boards may not hire individuals convicted of certain crimes, including sex offenses.
