House Approves Bill Making Public Schools Check Employee Records
Under a new bill, public schools would be barred from employing teachers and other workers convicted of sexual offenses against children or other violent crimes
The measure would require school systems to check state and federal criminal records for employees with unsupervised access to elementary and secondary school students, and for people seeking those jobs. Workers refusing to submit to the checks would not be allowed to have school positions, reported the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
