SB 1058 would require the superintendent or director of a school district, open-enrollment charter school, regional education service center (RESC), or shared services arrangement (SSA) to report to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) criminal records of employees or applicants obtained from sources other than the criminal history clearinghouse.
The bill would add the offense of an educator engaging in a romantic relationship or sexual conduct with a student or minor to the list of items that are required to be reported. This bill would also clarify that charter school directors are under the same reporting requirements as superintendents.
