In today's Los Angeles Times...

The Los Angeles school district's effort to identify teachers
suspected of misconduct has been complicated by a little-known clause
in the teachers' contracts that limits how long allegations can remain
in a teacher's file.  Under the contract, alleged misconduct that does
not result in discipline is removed from personnel files after four
years. The provision dates to the early 1990s when the L.A. Unified
School District agreed to it in exchange for teachers taking a 10% pay
cut.  The arrangement is unusual, but not unheard of. Many other
school districts, including New York City, Long Beach, Fresno,
Sacramento City and San Diego, for example, can keep teachers'
discipline records indefinitely. Clark County, Nevada, and Chicago
public schools, however, also have a process to remove them
automatically after a few years.
