Ohio firm to check background of rec personnel

Ohio firm to check background of rec personnel: "Jackson Township Council members are moving forward with a plan to have a background check conducted on all part-time and seasonal recreation personnel.

A resolution authorizing an agreement between Jackson and the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI), Beachwood, Ohio, to perform the background checks has been approved by a 5-0 vote of council members.

The $12,000 contract covers only municipal recreation personnel who must undergo a background check.

Private sports leagues must also conduct background checks on volunteers who work with children. The leagues must pay for those background checks through a budget or through fees charged to participants."
