ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING: SEXUAL OFFENDERS
Pursuant to state law, the Connecticut Department of Public Safety is obligated to notify school
superintendents whenever a sexual offender is released into the community or whenever a
registered sexual offender changes his or her address.

Safety’s sexual offender registry prior to hiring any new employee and prior to permitting a
volunteer to work with students in any capacity. Registration as a sexual offender constitutes
grounds for denial of employment and/or volunteer opportunities in the Colchester Public
Schools.
The Superintendent or his/her designee shall provide training to appropriate staff members
regarding the methods for accessing the sexual offender registry information posted on the
Connecticut Department of Public Safety and the provisions of these regulations.
