What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last reviewed in August 2005, establishes criminal background check requirements for all Reed Union School District employees. All job applicants must submit fingerprints through the Live Scan system for Department of Justice processing. The district cannot hire anyone convicted of violent or serious felonies (as defined in state law) for positions requiring teaching credentials unless they've received rehabilitation certificates and pardons. Current employees convicted of such felonies must be immediately placed on unpaid leave and terminated upon written confirmation. The Superintendent can issue temporary clearance certificates under specific conditions while background checks are processed. The district maintains ongoing monitoring through subsequent arrest notifications from the Department of Justice to ensure continued employee eligibility.
What this means for your family
This policy protects students by ensuring all district employees undergo criminal background checks and excludes those convicted of serious violent crimes from working in schools. Parents can be confident that the district maintains continuous monitoring of employee criminal records and will immediately remove anyone who becomes ineligible. This directly impacts student safety and the quality of supervision children receive at school.
