CHARLESTON W.Va. — West Virginia lawmakers have advanced a bill to ensure the end of teaching careers for teachers, principals and other educators who develop relationships with students in order to sexually abuse them — something called “grooming.” …
… state lawmakers have advanced House Bill 4378. It would mandate educators who “groom” students for sexual abuse automatically lose their licenses for at least five years.
Delegate Jordan Hill, R-Nicholas, and the bill’s lead sponsor, said teachers have groomed students throughout the state, including in his county.
