Criminal Background Checks /Sex Offender Registry Checks. OCHD will conduct <br />criminal background checks on OCHD personnel who will have contact with <br />students; or, in the alternative, OCHD will provide sufficient information to CHCCS to <br />conduct such checks. Such checks shall include checks of the State Sex Offender and <br />Public Protection Registration Program, the State Sexually Violent Predator <br />Registration Program, and the National Sex Offender Registry. Such background <br />checks must be completed prior to OCHD assigning any personnel to provide on- <br />campus services to the CHCCS or any services to CHCCS students. OCHD shall not <br />allow any person to provide on- campus services to the CHCCS or services to any <br />CHCCS students if such person has been convicted of (1) a felony, or (2) any crime, <br />whether felony or misdemeanor, that in CHCCS's reasonable judgment (articulated to <br />OCHD prior to the OCHD personnel being assigned to a school), indicates the person <br />may pose a threat to the safety of CHCCS staff or students. Under no circumstances <br />shall any individual who is listed on one of the three sex offender registries listed <br />above have any direct interaction with students at the direction of OCHD. OCHD <br />expressly acknowledges that N.C. General Statute 14- 208.18 prohibits anyone <br />required to register as a sex offender under Article 27A of Chapter 14 of the General <br />Statutes from knowingly being on the premises of any school. This prohibition <br />applies to persons required to register under Article 27A who have committed any <br />offense in Article 7A of Chapter 14 or any offense where the victim of the offense was <br />under the age of 16 years at the time of the offense. <br />h. Compliance with Applicable CHCCS Policies. OCHD acknowledges that the Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro City Schools Board of Education has adopted policies governing conduct on <br />CHCCS property and agrees to abide by any and all relevant CHCCS policies while on <br />CHCCS property. <br />i. Assignment. Neither party shall assign, subcontract, or otherwise transfer any <br />interest in this MOA without the prior written approval of the other party. <br />j. Liability.
