Are certified employees eligible to start work before the fingerprint process is complete or must the district wait until the results are final?
Once a district has been scheduled by SBEC to conduct national background checks of the entire district’s CERTIFIED employees, as well as all its substitute teachers and classroom aides, newly hired certified employees may begin work AFTER submitting their fingerprints to the DPS approved vendor. If the district has not been scheduled by SBEC to conduct background checks of the certified employees, as well as all its substitute teachers and classroom aides, they may continue employment with the district until SBEC schedules the district.
