[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted upthread that as an afterschool volunteer with DCPS, I have had to go to central office and get fingerprinted by DCPS. They sent me my results and I forwarded them to my principal. I don’t understand why DCPS didn’t have copies of background checks (I understand charters have a different system).[/quote] Because Springboard is a contractor that uses DCPS facilities. The employees are not hired by DCPS. The Springboard contract would require that they do background checks for all employees. It's not at all clear to me that for privacy reasons (PII) copies of those background checks can be shared with DCPS -- or that anyone at DCPS or OSSE would have looked at them if they were provided. The remedy for Springboard not complying with the background check provisions or any other aspect of its contract would be termination. The remedy for an individual Springboard employee harming or threatening a child rests with the MPD.[/quote]
