Washington Appeal Court Ruling.
The Washington Appeal Court have ruled that:-
...school districts must disclose the names of teachers who have been accused of misconduct of a sexual nature, even when the districts have concluded after investigation that the allegations are unsubstantiated or too minor to justify discipline."
"Unsubstantiated" and "false" are "two terms that do not mean the same thing, ... unsubstantiated complaints often are two conflicting accounts in which a firm conclusion cannot be made..."
The decision said "if a teacher's record includes a number of complaints found to be 'unsubstantiated,' the pattern is more troubling than each individual complaint. Yet, if the teacher's name in each individual complaint is withheld from public disclosure, the public will not be able to see any troubling pattern that might emerge."
