SECURITY CHECK

1.             Newly hired classified employees engaged in daily contact with students or such employees as required by the Superintendent or applicable laws and regulations will be subject to a background check.  The content of the background check will be determined by the Superintendent, the cost of which will be borne by the district. Failure to consent to the background check will result in the withdrawal of the offer to hire.  Under emergency circumstances, the Superintendent can waive this requirement to allow some to work until the investigation is complete. 

2.      The results of this background check will be confidential and will be known only to the Personnel Coordinator and the Superintendent.

3.      No person who has ever been convicted, or plead guilty or no contest (including forfeiture of bail) to a crime involving violence or sexual abuse will be hired by the district.

4.      No person who has been convicted, or plead guilty or no contest (including forfeiture of bail) to (1) a felony or (2) a crime or other violation involving a controlled substance within the five years preceding the application, will be hired by the district.  If more than five years have elapsed since the crime or violation, a person may apply pursuant to the following paragraph.

5.      Applications from persons who have been convicted, or plead guilty or no contest to any crime or violation (excluding minor traffic violations) not precluded in (2) nor (3) will be considered by the Superintendent on a case by case basis and notice given to the School Board prior to hire or being hired by the district.
