§ 3319.20. Prosecutor to notify board of nonlicensed employee's guilty plea or conviction of certain offenses.
 

Whenever an employee of a board of education, other than an employee who is a license holder to whom section 3319.52 of the Revised Code applies, is convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony, a violation of section 2907.04 or 2907.06 or of division (A) or (B) of section 2907.07 of the Revised Code, an offense of violence, theft offense, or drug abuse offense that is not a minor misdemeanor, or a violation of an ordinance of a municipal corporation that is substantively comparable to a felony or to a violation or offense of that nature, the prosecutor in the case, on forms prescribed and furnished by the state board of education, shall notify the employing board of education of the employee's name and residence address, the fact that the employee was convicted of or pleaded guilty to the specified offense, the section of the Revised Code or the municipal ordinance violated, and the sentence imposed by the court. 
 

The prosecutor shall give the notification required by this section no earlier than the fifth day following the expiration of the period within which the employee may file a notice of appeal from the judgment of the trial court under Appellate Rule 4 (B) and no later than the eighth day following the expiration of that period. The notification also shall indicate whether the employee appealed the conviction, and, if applicable, the court in which the appeal will be heard. If the employee is permitted, by leave of court pursuant to Appellate Rule 5, to appeal the judgment of the trial court subsequent to the expiration of the period for filing a notice of appeal under Appellate Rule 4 (B), the prosecutor promptly shall notify the employing board of education of the appeal and the court in which the appeal will be heard. 
 

As used in this section, "theft offense" has the same meaning as in section 2913.01 of the Revised Code, "drug abuse offense" has the same meaning as in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code, and "prosecutor" has the same meaning as in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code.
