We need to be careful with this thing too! Maybe some education to the admin team and the teachers and all parents.
Thanks,

SUBJECT: Changes to MSU Youth Programs Policy
On May 4, 2017, the University made changes to its youth programs policy – “Conducting University Youth Programs: Minimum Operational Requirements” found at https://www.hr.msu.edu/policies-procedures/university-wide/youth_program_operation.html. The purpose of these changes is to improve the safety of youth who participate in programs that are sponsored by the University or conducted at University facilities.
The most significant changes are:
1. Every person who has unsupervised access to minors at a youth program must have a criminal background check within the last 12 months. Previously, only those having direct contact with minors required a criminal background check within the last 12 months. The primary impact of this change is to require recent background checks for all persons who have access to minors’ residence hall rooms, bathrooms, or floors at overnight youth programs.
2. New provisions are in place regarding the transportation of minors at youth programs. All employees and volunteers who transport minors must have been subject to a Michigan driver records check within the last 12 months. Additionally, the policy prohibits an employee or volunteer from being alone with a minor in a vehicle.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind employees and volunteers of their obligations under the University Reporting Protocols: Child Abuse, Sexual Assault, and Child Pornography, found at https://www.hr.msu.edu/policies-procedures/university-wide/reporting_protocols.html. The policy details reporting procedures for mandatory reporters and other individuals who suspect child abuse or neglect, as well as for sexual assault allegations. Information regarding commonly accepted physical and behavioral indicators of abuse and/or neglect can be found under the Abuse and Neglect tab on the Department of Human Services (“DHS”) website at http://www.michigan.gov/dhs.
Employees who work with youth are encouraged to review the MSU Libraries Resources on the Safety of Minors at Michigan State University at http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/safetyofminors. This guide contains online training and comprehensive lists of resources.
Thank you for your attention to these University policies.
Xia, Qing
Best!
Qing
