Introduced by: Richard J. Holland | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Criminal history records checks for school board employees. Adds the Counties of Essex, Greene, Isle of Wight, Nelson, and Roanoke to the list of school boards authorized to require, as a condition of employment, fingerprinting and information from the national Central Criminal Records Exchange of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for persons who are offered or accept school board employment. All Virginia school boards do state criminal records checks pursuant to § 19.2-389. Fingerprinting is required to access the national records. The records are only searched for specific crimes, such as murder, neglect of children, arson, and sexual assault. Under current law, the school board may require the applicant to pay for the fingerprinting and records check.
