Who is required to be fingerprinted (screened)?
The law requires that certain “contractual personnel” must meet Level 2 screening requirements as described in s. 1012.32 Florida Statutes. “Contractual personnel” includes any vendor, individual or entity under contract with the school board. If an entity does business with the school board, then its employees and agents, including sub-contractual personnel, must meet the Level 2 background screening requirements if they: • are permitted access on school grounds when students are present or • have direct contact with students or • have access to or control of school funds If you have no personnel who meet any of these criteria, the law does not apply to you, and you do not need to do anything. However, if you or other personnel from your business meet any of the three criteria above, you will need to ensure that those personnel are fingerprinted and screened. Others who must be screened include Charter school personnel and contractors with charter schools and sports officials.
