SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Student teachers; fingerprinting, criminal history records check, and child abuse and neglect data. Permits education preparation program faculty to require student teachers at public institutions of higher education, as a condition of participation in a classroom teaching, internship, clinical, or field experience in a public elementary or secondary school, to submit to fingerprinting and a criminal history records check. The bill permits education preparation program faculty to require student teachers to provide the necessary personal information to conduct a search of the registry of founded complaints of child abuse and neglect in the Commonwealth and to obtain such information from other states if the individual has lived in another state in the past five years. The bill further requires the Board of Education to develop guidelines for each education preparation program director to use to decide whether to deny student teachers placement in a public elementary or secondary school on the basis of the findings of the criminal history records check and registry search.
