The bill would expedite and prioritize cases of egregious misconduct, those involving sexual abuse, child abuse and certain drug offenses. It would fast-track all other dismissal appeals.
Buchanan, who is chairwoman of the Assembly Education Committee, announced this week that six legislators have asked to be added as co-authors, including Senator Carol Liu, D-La Canada/Flintridge, who is chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee.
