RI S3010

Schools must report non-teacher employees terminated for "good and just cause" to the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education within 60 days of termination or within 60 days after an appeal is concluded and upheld.

The Department must maintain and monthly update a list of terminated non-teacher employees and the causes for their terminations, with a tracking system for hiring authorities to access.

The list is accessible only to hiring authorities of private, parochial, charter, and public schools or school districts, and is explicitly excluded from public records laws.

Reporting requirements do not apply to contract non-renewals unrelated to misconduct or performance, or to terminations due to fiscal constraints or program reorganization.

"Non-teacher employee" is defined as any school employee not subject to teacher employment provisions under Chapter 13 of Title 16.
