When an employee changes classification from a teacher to a principal, are new background clearances required?
Act 114 of 2006 states that a new clearance is not required when an employee “transfers” to another school. In this case, the term “transfers” indicates that the employee would be in the same position or type of position. In the case of a teacher moving to the position of principal, the individual is changing positions in the same manner as an individual being hired. The Act requires background clearances that are no more than one year old at the time of hire. Therefore, in such situations, the individual would be required to obtain new background clearances if their background check reports are more than one year old.
