Board approves athletics/co‑curricular contract; staff says outside vendors cannot be unsupervised with students
Summary
The board approved resolution C1 covering athletics and co‑curricular activities. In response to a question about contractor background checks, staff said outside contractors are not permitted to be with students without a coach present.
The Verona Board of Education approved resolution C1 regarding athletics and co‑curricular activities, including engagement with outside contractors. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by roll call; the recorded yes votes included Miss Konotic, Mrs. Prisco, Mr. Boone and the newly seated Mrs. Ferrara.
During discussion, Mr. Boone asked whether outside contractors (the "elevate team" training) are required to undergo background checks through their organizations. A staff member replied: "They are not. They are not allowed to be with our students without the coach present." The board recorded the motion as passed and noted that contractors work only when accompanied by district coaches or staff.
