What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last reviewed in August 2005, establishes minimum requirements for hiring certificated (credentialed teaching) staff in Reed Union School District. The Board of Trustees must approve all certificated employee appointments based on the Superintendent's recommendation. All new certificated employees must: possess appropriate California teaching credentials, demonstrate basic skills proficiency, submit fingerprints for criminal background checks, pass tuberculosis testing, provide military service records (if applicable), and sign an oath of allegiance. Critically, candidates cannot be hired if they've been convicted of violent felonies, sex offenses, controlled substance offenses, or are required to register as sex offenders. The policy ensures all teachers meet state legal requirements and district standards before entering the classroom.
What this means for your family
This policy protects your children by ensuring all teachers are properly credentialed, background-checked, and free from serious criminal convictions before being hired. It means the district follows strict safety and qualification standards when selecting the teachers who will work with your students. While this is an administrative process, it directly impacts classroom quality and student safety throughout the district.
