on another trip with him. this timehe handed out permission forms for those students to attend a spring break trip to yosemite. shortly after the forms were handed out, he was arrested. all of this got the attention of parents who were inquiring about background checks. as it turns out, there was no such policy in place. it happened because we did not review all the background check information and we should have. it's something i have spoken to the superintendant about and we have taken care of it. tonight we are codify and memorializing this practice. the school board debated the merits of the issue for about an hour and eventually came to a unanimous decision. background checks will now be required of any teacher applying for a position at the district. officials say,

it should have been done sooner. safety is our top priority and we want to remind our parents that we are vigilant about that and that the school board, starting with me take these issues very seriously. we have to have protections in place to ensure that anyone does not put our children in harms way. the policy goes into effect immediately. i'm jeff bush in richmond, kron four news. we got some badly needed rain yesterday
