8121 - PERSONAL BACKGROUND CHECK – CONTRACTED SERVICES

To protect students and staff members, the Board requires an inquiry into the personal background of each employee of a contractor or sub-contractor providing services to the Corporation.

The Superintendent shall establish the necessary procedures for obtaining the background information that is to include the following:

	A.	local, State, and National Criminal History Records Check
	B.	sex and violent offender registry check
	C.	arrest and/or filing of criminal charges against each employee within two (2) business days of the occurrence and the disposition of such arrest or filing of charges

Personally identifiable information obtained in the implementation of this policy shall not be released except as necessary to implement this policy or to defend a decision made pursuant to this policy.

Each contractor and sub-contractor providing services to the Corporation shall screen all employees providing services to the Corporation. Screening shall only be required one (1) time during the period of the current contract with the Corporation as long as the contractor has continuously screened new hires, and required the same of its sub-contractors. Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by either:

	A.	inclusion of the requirement as material term of the contractor's or sub-contractor's contract; or
	B.	execution of a certificate of compliance with this policy which shall be maintained with the contract in the Corporation's files

Non-compliance with these requirements shall be a breach of a material term of any contract between a contractor/sub-contractor and the Corporation.

The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines to implement this policy. These procedures shall provide for the review of each reported arrest and/or criminal charge and for a response to the reported information that protects members of the school community from persons who may be dangerous to them.
