Breaking: MSDE Confirms MCPS Teacher John Vigna's Teaching License was Not Revoked Because He Voluntarily Surrendered It @MdPublicSchools @MarylandSCCAN @paulpinsky @ericluedtke @clarencelammd

As we reported on February 15, 2019, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) did not revoke MCPS teacher John Vigna's teaching license even though State Regulations call for the license of a teacher after notice of an allegation of child sexual abuse to be revoked.

On Twitter, we asked MSDE for an explanation of why John Vigna's teaching license was not revoked.  MSDE responded that John Vigna "voluntarily surrendered" his license. 

The Maryland Regulations do not state that a "voluntary surrender" can bypass the mandatory revocation of a teaching license. 

We have again asked MSDE for an explanation of why John Vigna's name is not listed on their public list of teachers who have had their licenses revoked.

    It sounds like a loophole to me. Maryland excels in that realm.

    This makes no sense. If something is voluntarily turned in. You can’t revoke it. If I turn in my tahs to the MVA. The MVA can’t suspend or revoke my tags as they are not active. This argument make no sense.

      If it made sense, it would be illegal. By stating nonsense, they proclaim it legal.

    Deja Vu.
    A dubious Bill is introduced.
    A scathing critique is produced.
    The Bill goes back to the drawing board.
    The next session anticipates it.
