I didn't read this anywhere. What I read was "Mr. Henzie Skogen is not and has not ever been employed by Oregon School District, so we would not be the organization to conduct an investigation". All volunteers had to undergo background checks by the school district. I had presumed it was the same for staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 "background check" can also mean a lot of things. in my state, for certificated school employees, it's fbi and state patrol. for volunteers, "background check" means something very different. and it probably means something different yet again in other states.

I think I read he was in a booster-paid position. Around my parts that means you are still required to do the same background checks as School employees, but other than that, you are not under the purview of HR.

cixelsyd Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 What difference do background checks make in this instance? As I understand it, his background check was clean until the day of his firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, until it happens, all of our background checks will come back clean (at least w/r/t being an axe-murderer). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crap is never reported the record will also be clean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
