National survey shows 2570 misconduct cases in schools 2001 to 2005
Reporters in all 50 states and D C collected cases from state teacher licensing agencies. The patchwork system leaves many gaps in background checks and reporting. While some progress has occurred, experts call for a coordinated national approach including a federal registry and better training to protect students.
