Texas Education Agency launches dashboard tracking educator misconduct reports

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has introduced its Educator Misconduct Dashboard, a new online tool designed to track reports of educator misconduct across Texas public and charter schools. The dashboard, managed by Levi Fuller, the agency’s inspector general of educator misconduct—a role created by Commissioner of Education Michael Morath—provides a public tally of submitted reports, investigations, sanctions, and entries on the Do Not Hire Registry. The dashboard includes four key sections: *All Misconduct Reports*, which shows yearly totals; *Educator Investigations*, detailing the number of educators under investigation by offense and case status; *State Board of Education Certification Sanctions*, listing disciplinary actions taken; and the *Do Not Hire Registry*, which names individuals barred from school employment due to misconduct. Specific names of accused individuals are not displayed unless a sanction is issued, ensuring legal processes remain intact. Fuller emphasized the dashboard’s goal of transparency, aiming to reassure parents about efforts to maintain safe classrooms. While the current version aggregates data statewide, the TEA plans to expand it to include breakdowns by school district. The tool covers a range of misconduct types, including inappropriate student-educator relationships, fraud, and school-related violence. The dashboard is part of broader efforts by the TEA to collaborate with lawmakers and enforcement teams to safeguard students. Fuller noted that while detailed district-level data is under development, the agency remains committed to providing clear, accessible information about investigations and outcomes. The tool is available publicly at [TEA’s Educator Misconduct Dashboard](https://tea4avcastro.tea.state.tx.us/edconduct/reporting.html).
