Ed. Commish Wants Changes in Hiring Policies

Vermont's education commissioner wants changes in teacher hiring policies in the wake of the Shaun Bryer case.


Vermont Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca doesn't want that kind of thing to happen again. He says new laws are needed to make sure schools have access to all disciplinary action against prospective hires. Bryer is charged with sexually abusing three boys while he worked as a teacher in Morristown. WCAX TV reports that Bryer resigned before anyone found out and was hired at Colchester and Morristown officials said they would not tell any future employers about the issues.
