Employment Referrals and Prevention of Sexual Abuse
All employees, contractors, and agents of the RISE Charter School are prohibited from providing any recommendation for employment or otherwise helping an employee, contractor, or agent of the RISE Charter School in obtaining a job if they know or have probable cause to believe the individual has engaged in sexual misconduct with a student or minor in violation of the law.
