A number of charter school teachers are on leave after their fingerprints had not been run through the state's database, as required by law.
An undisclosed number of teachers working at Great Hearts, a charter school with locations in San Antonio, have been placed on administrative leave after the Texas Education Agency found that background paperwork, including fingerprinting, had been improperly filed with the state.
In an email sent to parents earlier this week, interim superintendent of Great Hearts Texas Kurtis Indorf said the issues were discovered during a review of HR-related compliance measures by the agency, which is currently investigating the district. The finding “triggered a mandatory directive by TEA to GH Texas requiring the affected employees to be placed on paid administrative leave while our leadership team resolves all inconsistencies,” Indorf said.Under the Texas Education Code, all certified educators, substitute teachers, educational aids, charter school employees and contracted employees who have direct contact with children are required to submit fingerprints and are subject to national background check prior to employment.
