Hiring employees is a critical task for school administrators. Not only do you need to focus on hiring the best and brightest candidates, but you also need to be focused on statutory requirements regarding vetting of new hires. In addition to the criminal history background and reference checks, charter schools must check the Bureau of Educator Certification for any processing alerts and the state’s Disciplinary Action Search webpage for any final orders of the Education Practices Commission. This presentation will focus on how to use these search systems to identify prohibitions from employment and any limitations or conditions of practice for potential educator candidates. The webinar will be presented by Marian Lambeth, who is the Chief of Professional Practices Services with the Florida Department of Education.
