Legislation designed to prevent abusive teachers from relocating to
another school district will go to Gov. Tom Corbett for enactment after
being unanimously approved by the House on Wednesday evening.
Corbett is likely to sign it, said the governor's spokesman Jay Pagni.
The bill would
bar schools from entering into contracts that suppress information
about investigations of abuse and sexual misconduct, as well as prevent
schools from transferring problem teachers from school district to
school district, a practice called "pass the trash."
House Bill 1816, which was approved 195-0, was introduced in the wake of a raft of lawsuits and revelations of widespread abuse in the school system.

Good luck getting the part time legislature to agree unanimously on a serious issue.
