--a notarized affadavit that each of the bidder's employees has completed a criminal background check within 3 months prior to submission of the bid.
Provides that the local board may not enter into a contract unless the school board provides a cost comparison, using generally accepted accounting principles, of all expenditure categories and accounts that the board projects it would incur over the term of the contract if it continued to perform the non-instructional services using its own employees with all expenditure categories and accounts that a third party would incur if a third party performed the non-instructional services.
Provides the review and consideration of all bids by third parties to perform the non-instructional services must take place in open session of a regularly scheduled school board meeting, unless specified circumstances are met.
