The Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides public information about educator investigations to help Texans understand how many reports of educator misconduct are received and how those reports are resolved.
This includes both the Educator Misconduct Reporting Dashboard and public reports of final disciplinary actions issued by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). These transparency efforts support student safety and strengthen accountability across Texas schools.
Educator Misconduct Reporting Dashboard
The Educator Misconduct Reporting Dashboard, required by Senate Bill 571 (89th Texas Legislature), provides an interactive view of educator misconduct reports at key stages of the investigation and sanction process. It includes data on reports submitted to TEA, cases under review, SBEC disciplinary actions, and the number of individuals placed on the Do Not Hire Registry.
The dashboard is organized into four main tabs:
- All Misconduct Reports: Displays the volume of all reports of educator misconduct received by TEA, by month and referral type, as well as all criminal history alerts from DPS and the FBI, by month.
- Educator Investigations: Displays the volume of active educator misconduct investigations, organized by allegation type and investigation stage.
- SBEC Sanctions: Displays the volume of SBEC sanction cases, organized by month and sanction type.
- Do Not Hire Registry: Displays the number of individuals placed on the registry by month and fiscal year, including temporary placements beginning when statutorily permitted in September 2025.
Because cases may move through multiple stages over time, these views together provide a picture of how educator misconduct cases progress. The dashboard and accompanying reports are updated regularly.
