Bill Summary
Relative to national fingerprint-based criminal background checks for certifying and recertifying certain school employees. Education.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law to require that teachers and other certified school employees undergo a national fingerprint-based criminal background check as a condition of initial certification and recertification. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, in consultation with the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, would be required to review the implementation of this national fingerprint check every other year to consider ways to reduce the regulatory burden and associated costs on school districts and school employees. The board would also be required to file reports with the legislative committee on education regarding the requirement for the national fingerprint check and any recommendations for reducing the burden and costs of the program.
