Background
Horizon School Division believes in providing a safe and caring environment for all students and staff. As one factor in ensuring this belief, employment in Horizon School Division shall be contingent upon the receipt of a current Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check.
The following procedure applies to all employed personnel.

contract.
2. The cost incurred in obtaining a Criminal Record Check is the sole responsibility of the employee.
3. An employee is responsible for providing a Criminal Record Check that has been completed within 90 days of application to the Division. Only original documentation will be accepted.
4. In the event further information is required regarding the criminal record status of an employee, the employee shall be required to sign an affidavit. The employee's affidavit shall remain in effect until such time as the completed Criminal Record Check has been received. The Director of Education (or designate) may, at his or her discretion, request updates regarding the status of the Criminal Record Check.
5. An employee who has been charged with a criminal offense shall, within 2 working days, inform the Director of Education (or designate) of the said charges in writing.
