Summary

The board approved contracting Bushue Background Screening at $37 per case to handle legally required background checks for new hires, aiming to reduce administrative burden.

Superintendent Bob Ketcham told trustees that Faith's Law requires background checks for each newly hired teacher or coach and that conducting those checks takes significant time for district staff. He recommended contracting with Bushue Background Screening, which will perform checks at a cost of $37 per case.

The board approved the contract by motion (Cooper/Wiesbrock) on a unanimous roll call. The district expects the contract to reduce administrative time required to process legally mandated background checks for hiring and for co-op participants.
