How to search sanctioned teachers by name and state
Teacher disciplinary records are published differently by each state. Some agencies offer searchable portals, while others publish PDFs, spreadsheets, board orders, or public notices. teachersanctions.io brings those public signals into one searchable web app and API.

What a search can include
A teacher sanctions search may return license revocations, suspensions, reprimands, voluntary surrenders, consent orders, probation, or other disciplinary actions when those details are available from an official state source.
Useful fields often include the educator name, state, sanction type, effective date, employer or district, license number, grounds or reason, and a source URL for verification.
Why state-by-state searching is hard
Every state publishes educator discipline differently. Some states have direct search tools, some publish board action PDFs, spreadsheets, disciplinary notices, or other agency materials.
That fragmentation is why a single searchable database and API can save time for researchers, compliance teams, screening platforms, and public safety workflows.
How to verify a result
A search result should be treated as a starting point for verification. Review the sanction type, effective date, source link, and any available agency context before making decisions from the data.
For employment, licensing, or regulated screening use cases, customers should apply their own compliance process and legal review.
