New York State Department of Education is one of the few in the country where you can readily access a Code of Ethics. They are thoughtful and comprehensive. However, they include this caveat.

This Code shall not be used as a basis for discipline by any employer and shall not be used by the State Education Department as a basis for a proceeding under Part 83 of Commissioner's Regulations, nor shall it serve as a basis for decisions pertaining to certification or employment in New York State.

You can file a Moral Character Report if you know of an educator or administrator who has been convicted of a crime.

No online teacher discipline decisions. Records are available through the Freedom of Informaction Act.
