“Upon review of staff BFIS Quality and Credential Accounts and on-site staff files, it was identified that two (2) Teachers did not meet one of the eligible qualifications for their position title. Corrective Action: Immediately identify the appropriate position titles both staff are qualified for and update their individual BFIS accounts accordingly. Develop and implement a system for assigning new staff position titles that align with their educational documentation. Ensure qualification documentation for all new employees is uploaded to Northern Lights at CCV where it will be evaluated and submitted to their BFIS accounts. Email Licensing Field Specialist Stark a detailed description of the system created. Status: Appeal Period.”
