United StatesThe Trump administration has initiated a nationwide effort to address how school districts handle allegations of sexual misconduct by teachers, based on a joint investigation by KQED and ProPublica. The investigation revealed that California's teacher licensing agency failed to revoke the credentials of at least 67 educators accused of sexual harassment or misconduct, with 14 subsequently rehired by other schools. In response, Education Secretary Linda McMahon warned of potential federal funding cuts for non-compliant districts and emphasized the need for stricter oversight. She cited prior reports from the Government Accountability Office and academic studies highlighting systemic failures in addressing such cases. The Department of Education is now reviewing 20 school districts, including two in California, for their data collection and handling of misconduct allegations. Officials in some districts have expressed willingness to cooperate with the review.
