Criminal Records Summaries:  All employees of the School, volunteers who are not parents and who will be performing services that are not under the direct supervision of a School employee, and onsite vendors having unsupervised contact with students will submit to background checks and fingerprinting in accordance with EC Section 45125.1. This serves as certification that all employees, and volunteers/vendors (as applicable) have clear criminal records. The School has performed criminal background checks for all employees and documentation that vendors have conducted required criminal background checks for their employees prior to any unsupervised contact with students.

Teacher Credentials and Highly Qualified Teacher Requirements: This serves as certification that all teachers hold a Commission on Teacher Credentialing certificate, permit, or other document equivalent to that which teachers in other public schools are required to hold, except as otherwise exempted by the Charter Schools Act. The certification also covers the School’s compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) highly qualified teacher requirements. The School has documentation on file of its teachers’ credentials and that the teachers of any NCLB core subject meet the highly qualified teacher requirements.
