ON GOING LEARNING

Update on Background Checks for Parent Members
The 2009 law, KRS 160.380(10) requires SBDM parent members to submit to State and Federal criminal records checks.  KASC was asked whether a school district must conduct a new State and Federal criminal records check for SBDM parent members who are re-elected to a consecutive term on the school council.    

KASC and the Kentucky Department of Education both agree that if the SBDM parent member is re-elected to a consecutive term, then the school district is not required to conduct these criminal records check again.    However, if there is a "break in service" and the SBDM parent member is elected later, but not consecutive to an initial term, then the school district should conduct a new State and Federal criminal records check.

ADJOURNMENT

Jamie Shiver motioned to adjourn the meeting, Amy Dove seconded the motion.
