LICENSES AND
SEALED RECORDS
If a person applies for a new or renewed license, the state board of
education may question an applicant with regard to criminal offenses. If
the record of the disposition of that offense has been sealed or
expunged, neither the state board nor department of education needs to
assert or demonstrate that its investigation of the offense “bears a direct
and substantial relationship” to the license or to the position which the
person is seeking.
Neither the records which have been sealed or expunged nor the
responses of the applicant to the investigation constitute a public record.
