Charter schools: criminal background of employees and volunteers.

Existing law authorizes the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to issue teaching credentials and services credentials. Existing law defines "adverse action" as the denial of an application for a credential, a private admonition or a public reproval of a credentialholder, or the suspension or revocation of a credential. Existing law requires the commission to send, on a monthly basis, to each private school a list of all teachers who have had their state teaching credential revoked or suspended. This bill would require the commission instead to make available to each private school a listing of all credentialholders who have had final adverse action taken against their credential.
