The House Education Committee passed a measure last week to require the employment history to be checked for applicants for school positions involving direct contact with children, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
What is to be looked for is instances involving sexual predation.
House Bill 2063 would apply to all public schools, private schools, nonpublic schools, intermediate units and area vocational-technical schools in the Commonwealth.
The measure moves to the full House.
