Board approves hire of David Hudson for special education after disclosure of 2014 OWI
Summary
The board approved hiring David Hudson as a special education teacher after the administration disclosed a 2014 OWI misdemeanor and said state law requires a separate board vote for applicants with a misdemeanor; the presenter noted Hudson will not be assigned to drive students.
The Franklin Community School Corp board approved hiring David Hudson as a special education teacher after the administration disclosed a prior misdemeanor.
A staff member told trustees that Hudson disclosed a 2014 OWI and that "state law requires that if we have anyone with a misdemeanor offense, we need to pull them out and have the board vote on them separately." The presenter recommended the hire and noted that Hudson "won't be driving students around in this capacity as a special education teacher."
Trustees discussed the recommendation, then moved, seconded and approved the hire. No further restrictions or conditions were recorded in the transcript; the presenter said Hudson would report to the district and that his disclosure had been made upfront during hiring.
The motion carried at the July 13 meeting; the transcript records the board's approval but does not include a roll‑call vote tally in the minutes excerpt.
