The Office of Chief Counsel, Pennsylvania Department of Education, is charged under the Educator If you have a concern about the conduct of any of the above-listed employees, the following information may be helpful in determining whether a complaint is the appropriate avenue to address your concern.Discipline Act with investigating misconduct complaints against certificated educators, charter or cyber charter school staff members and contracted educational provider staff members.
WHAT TYPES OF MISCONDUCT WILL BE INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED BY THE DEPARTMENT?
Under the Act, the Department is authorized to investigate and prosecute cases of misconduct involving immorality, negligence, intemperance, incompetency, cruelty, sexual misconduct, sexual abuse or exploitation, violations of the Code for Professional Practice and Conduct, illegal use of professional title, failure to comply with duties under the Act including the mandatory reporting duties, and actions taken to threaten, coerce or discriminate or otherwise retaliate against an individual who files a complaint or participates in a disciplinary proceeding in good faith.
In addition the Act empowers the Commission to revoke the certification and employment eligibility of any educator who has been convicted of a crime set forth in section 111(e)(1) through (3) of the Public School Code or a crime involving moral turpitude.
Complaints must relate to a specific educator and not to a school system in general.
Some complaints may be resolved more appropriately at the local level and we encourage you to raise your concerns with the educator and/or administration. For example, complaints dealing with teaching style, discretionary decisions and/or curriculum choices typically do not fall within the purview of the educator discipline system under the Act.
HOW DO I FILE A COMPLAINT?
All complaints must be submitted on the form created by the Department, Educator Complaint Form
Neither verbal nor anonymous complaints will be accepted. All complaints and supporting documentation should be submitted to:
Office of Chief Counsel
