חוק פיקוח על בתי ספר (תיקון מס' 9), התשע"ז-2016School Supervision Law (Amendment No. 9), 2016 · automatic translation · suggest a correction

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law regulates the authority to suspend a service employee at a school that is not an official educational institution, against whom an indictment has been filed for committing a sex offense or serious violence against a minor or a helpless person. This is similar to the existing procedures on this matter within the disciplinary proceedings of state employees and local authority employees. The Law provides that the Director General of the Ministry of Education shall instruct the holder of a license to operate a school, or the school principal, to suspend a service employee against whom an indictment has been filed for such a criminal offense. The suspension of the service employee shall continue until a final judgment is given in the criminal proceedings against him or until the proceedings are discontinued, but the Director General may order the suspension to end at an earlier date. The Law also provides that the Director General of the Ministry of Education may order the closure of a school for refusing to dismiss a service employee at his request. Since some of the service employees at schools to which the Supervision of Schools Law applies are employees of local authorities, it is provided that the provisions of this Law do not derogate from the provisions of the Local Authorities Law (Discipline).
