Committee reviews personnel-policy revisions on background checks and minors; agrees to clarify packet language
Summary
Staff reviewed proposed PPM revisions clarifying background checks: DMV driving-history for employees over 18, criminal-history checks for the last county of residence, and Live Scan fingerprinting for staff working with minors. Committee agreed to re-check synopsis wording in section 4.7 before finalizing.
Staff reviewed proposed revisions to the personnel policy manual (PPM), noting changes to section 4.7 that clarify which background checks apply to which employees. The HR manager explained that employees over 18 will receive DMV driving-history checks, criminal-history reports looking at the last county of residence for seven years, and Live Scan fingerprint checks for staff who work with minors. "If you are working with minors, then it is the Live Scan fingerprint check," the HR manager said, describing the more comprehensive check required for those positions.
Committee members asked for alignment between the packet synopsis and the PPM language; staff agreed to re-check the wording and confirmed the synopsis was intended only for internal committee use. Members also discussed volunteer coaches and national SafeSport requirements and asked staff to ensure the PPM language reflected those reporting and training obligations.
