Standard #: 22.1-289.035-B-4 Description: Based on records reviewed, it was determined that 1 of 5 staff records did not include an out-of-state background check prior to the first day of employment. Evidence: Staff #1 was hired in 2019 and to-date does not have a completed out-of-state criminal record check. Plan of Correction: A new sworn disclosure statement was completed to show out of state background was not needed as it is outside the 5 year window. A new background check will be performed in May 2023 on [name of staff #1]. When the new background check is completed there will no longer be any out of state background checks as she has been in the State of VA since May 2018 (5 years).
