b. Has been charged and convicted of a crime described in (a) above or of fourth degree sexual assault;

conduct. For purposes of state law, "immoral conduct" means conduct or

behavior that is contrary to commonly accepted moral or ethical standards and

that endangers the health, safety, welfare or education of any student; or

Administrator and immoral conduct is suspected, the District Administrator shall

inform the employee that he/she has a duty to report the resignation to the Wisconsin State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

2. Any non-licensed employee shall be reported to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction if he/she:

a. Is convicted of a crime described in 1 (a) above or of fourth degree sexual assault.

4. The employee who is the subject of a report shall be given a copy of the report.
