The School Board desires to hire personnel whose background and behavior exemplifies a standard deemed appropriate for individuals working with children. Effort will be made to investigate the background of applicants prior to hire in the district. A background check of all applicants for all paid positions with the District is mandatory. The District reserves the right to require background checks and implement background checks on persons from non-school agencies, and organizations who have persons who have contact with students on school premises.
Falsification or omission of information during the interview or on the application shall be grounds for immediate removal from consideration for a position or dismissal from a currently held position.
