HB 2757 Data on convictions; school personnel.
Introduced by: Thomas Davis Rust | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Data on convictions; school personnel. Clarifies and reinforces that, as a condition of employment for all of its public school employees, whether full-time or part-time, permanent, or temporary, every school board must require on its application for employment that the applicant certify whether he has been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. The Virginia Supreme Court has stated that "[m]isdemeanor crimes of moral turpitude are limited to those crimes involving lying, cheating and stealing, including making a false statement and petit larceny." (Newton v. Commonwealth, 29 Va. App. 433 at 448, 512 S.E.2d 846 at 853(1999)). Current law requires that school board employment applications include certifications that the applicant has not been convicted of a felony, a crime of moral turpitude, or any offense involving the sexual molestation, physical or sexual abuse or rape of a child.
