Charter School Background Checks Bill Introduced

A new bill, SB 208, Charter School Background Checks has just been introduced and is sponsored by Sen. Windels and Rep. Benefield. The bill makes it explicit that charter schools must conduct CBI background checks on all their employees (they already do) and requires charters to also check the CDE database on employees. If employees aren't licensed, they may still be in the CDE database if there is a red flag.
