    Padilla and Buchanan Join Forces to Protect Children


    SACRAMENTO - Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) and Assemblymember Joan Buchanan (DAlamo), Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, today announced that Senator Padilla is adding his name as a principal co-author of AB 375 - Teacher Discipline and Dismissal and AB 1338 - Mandatory Reporting of Sexual and Child Abuse. AB 375 and AB 1338 were introduced by Assemblymember Buchanan on Monday. We share a common interest: keeping our children safe at school. We have worked together successfully in the past, and I believe we can accomplish more by working together on these important issues, said Senator Padilla. As the author of SB 1530 last year and SB 10 this year, I am committed to improving the dismissal process so that cases can be resolved in a timely manner. I will not be moving SB 10 forward. Instead, we will focus our combined efforts on AB 375 and AB 1338, Padilla added. AB 375 expands on the efforts of Senator Padilla last year to update sections of the education code regarding the discipline and dismissal of teachers who abuse children, ensuring that teachers who are accused of these acts are removed from the classroom immediately and can be issued a notice of dismissal at any time. AB 375 also streamlines the appeal process, saving districts time and money. AB 1338 will require all districts to have a board policy on mandated reporting of child and sexual abuse and to review that policy with all employees annually. There have been many cases of abuse that could have been stopped if employees better understood their legal obligation to report incidents to law enforcement. I am pleased Senator Padilla and I will be working collaboratively to ensure passage of these two important pieces of legislation we both care so deeply about. Nothing is more important to either of us than the safety and welfare of our children. I am hopeful that between the two of us, we can build support and win passage of these two measures, said Assemblymember Buchanan. ###
