There are not any state regulations of teacher conduct with students, other than general ethical standards for educators administered by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC), the licensing (certifying) body for teachers and other educators. Teachers are, of course, subject to general criminal statutes for assault or child abuse, which would be enforced, if necessary, by local criminal authorities. Each district will usually have rules governing acceptable employee conduct. Complaints about employees can be reviewed up the chain of command to the school board.
