1075 R- Administrative Regulations Regarding Sexual offenders

Pursuant to state law, the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection is obligated to notify school superintendents whenever a sexual offender is released into the community or whenever a registered sexual offender changes his or her address. 

School district personnel shall cross-reference the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection’s sexual offender registry prior to hiring any new employee and prior to permitting a volunteer to work with students in any capacity. Registration as a sexual offender constitutes grounds for denial of employment and/or volunteer opportunities in the Newtown Public Schools. 

The Superintendent or his/her designee shall provide training to appropriate staff members regarding the methods for accessing the sexual offender registry information posted on the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and the provisions of these regulations.
