Establishes provisions governing statewide athletic association employees and members
This bill establishes new rules for school districts and charter schools regarding the background checks, employment history, and sexual misconduct records of both employees and screened volunteers. It requires schools to create written policies that disclose information about former staff and volunteers to other schools, specifically mandating the release of details about substantiated sexual misconduct allegations. The legislation also mandates immediate suspension of individuals with substantiated sexual misconduct findings, provides legal immunity for staff who share this information in good faith, and holds schools financially liable if they fail to disclose such records to future employers. Additionally, the bill protects individuals who report misconduct from retaliation and requires schools to check state records before hiring or allowing service by anyone previously employed in Missouri schools.
