It is the intent of the Board of Education to maintain complete and current personnel files,
including all information necessary to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act, for all district
employees.
The file of an individual employee will be considered confidential information and will only be
available to authorized administrative personnel and to the employee. Individually identifiable
personnel records, performance ratings or records pertaining to employees or applicants for
employment are closed records under the Missouri Sunshine Law to the extent allowed by law.
Pursuant to state law, the names, positions, salaries and lengths of service of all employees are
public information and must be released upon request. In accordance with federal law, the district
shall release to parents, upon request, information regarding the professional qualifications and
degrees of teachers and the qualifications of paraprofessionals who are employed by a school
receiving Title I funds and who provide instruction to their child at that school.
There shall be only one (1) personnel file for each individual employee maintained in the central
office by the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources. Files containing immigration records
and files containing medical information regarding an employee will be kept separate from
personnel files.
Upon request to and in the presence of the appropriate administrative official, any employee will
have the right to inspect his or her own personnel file during regular working hours, with the
exception of the ratings, reports and records obtained prior to the employment of the individual,
included in confidential placement papers.
Information of a derogatory nature will not be entered or filed in the employee's personnel folder
until the employee is given notice, as well as an opportunity to review the information and
comment thereon. The employee will have the right to append a reply to the statement, which will
also be included in the folder.
