The Result
Employment history, egregious-misconduct disclosures, supporting documents, and a full response timeline — captured in a single report you can hand to a board or an auditor.
SB 848 makes prior employers disclose past egregious misconduct — so it can’t be left behind on a résumé.
It now reaches classified staff, volunteers, and contractors — anyone with campus access.
A verified, documented process is your defense if a hire is ever challenged.
Why It Matters
Knowing exactly who you put in front of students. SB 848 makes schools verify every hire, volunteer, and contractor — and surface what a résumé leaves out — before anyone reaches a classroom.
Who It’s For
SB 848 reaches far beyond classroom teachers. If your organization hires, supervises, or brings adults onto a K-12 campus, the new duties apply to you.
