Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Why do I have to have a background check done if I am a parent in the District?
Tier II, III & coach volunteers are required to have a background check done prior to being cleared as a volunteer. It is for the safety of our students
How long does it take for the Universal Background Screening to clear?
Between 24 to 72 hours and the results are sent directly to Human Resources. Some states can take a little longer, depending on their court process.
How long does it take for fingerprints to clear?
It can take up to 8 to 10 weeks for the fingerprint to be processed through the Department of Public Safety. The results are sent directly to Human Resources.
What is the cost of the Universal Background Screening and fingerprints?
There is no cost to the volunteer with the exception of the fingerprint requirement. (as of 12013, the cost for fingerprinting and processing is $35.00). The school district processes and pay for the Universal Background Screening.
Where is my Volunteer application and personal information kept?
Human Resources has a secure file cabinet in their department where the completed volunteer application, background check, and fingerprint (if applicable) information is kept.
What happens to my information once the background and.or fingerprints are completed?
Human Resources updates and notified the school principal and secretary as soon as the results are received.
How long is the Volunteer application valid?
Universal Background Screenings are good for two years. Fingerprint Clearance Cards are good for six years. If a volunteer already has a Fingerprint Clearance Card, it is good as long as the expiration date on the card is still valid.
