[quote=Anonymous]I d on't think an yone has posted this story from WAMU on teh Springboard issue.

"Almost two dozen D.C. schools suspended the private operator of their before- and after-school programs this week after allegations were raised that an employee kissed and inappropriately touched a minor student.

The company, Massachusetts-based Springboard Education, also could not produce documentation of required background checks for its employees in D.C. schools. (There is another separate and unaffiliated company, Springboard Collaborative, that offers summer programs and was not involved in this incident.)

The alleged incident occurred in mid-May at Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan, a D.C. public school near Union Station. According to a police report, the 21-year-old Springboard employee “would coordinate meetings in the school, after hours” with a 13-year-old student. “While together, the victim and the suspect would kiss on the mouth, and the suspect would place his hands on her clothed buttocks.”

In an email to parents, Principal Kim Adutwum said that after learning of the allegations, the Springboard employee was removed from the school and the matter referred to police. ..."

EL Haynes which says it does collect background checks on the Springboard employees in its school and is not suspending the provider. [/quote]
