SECTION: INSTRUCTIONAL AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL
CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:6-7.1 et. seq. and N.J.S.A. 18A:39-19.1, all employees of a public school district under the supervision of the State Department of Education who hire or contract for the services of any employees having regular pupil contact must submit a criminal background check. This mandate shall apply to all employees hired or contracted by the school district after October 8, 1986.
In order to provide for the proper security of the children of the West Milford Township School District by prohibiting employment of unfit persons in the schools, the West Milford Board of Education directs the Superintendent of Schools to establish procedures necessary for the implementation of the school employee criminal history review consistent with statute and code.
Further, the Board directs that all employees subject to the criminal history check successfully clear this process prior to appointment unless the Superintendent determines that the circumstances and/or needs of the district warrant an exception.
