Bill to create RIDE list of non-credentialed employees dismissed for cause draws support and opposition; panel holds S-633
Summary
S-633 would require RIDE to track non-credentialed school employees who were terminated for cause and make the information available to other districts; school committees and parents supported the bill as a safety measure while unions warned it could be overbroad; committee held the bill.
Senator Valverde introduced S-633 to direct RIDE to maintain a list of non-credentialed school employees who were dismissed for cause and to make the list available to other school districts.
Valverde said the proposal responded to incidents in which a non-credentialed employee dismissed for cause in one district later was hired in another district. She said the bill is modeled on prior legislation that set up tracking for certified employees.
