Clearances
Pennsylvania School Law requires that all school employees and volunteers, as well as student teachers and employees of independent contractors, undergo background checks if they will have direct contact with students. Clearances are required for an employee or unpaid volunteer at a minimum of every 60 months from the date of the oldest clearance.
The following three background checks are required:
- Department of Human Services Child Abuse History Clearance
- Pennsylvania State Police Request for Criminal Records Check
- Federal Criminal History Record Information (CHRI)
When registering for fingerprinting, please use the appropriate Service Code:
| Employment | 1KG6XN |
| Volunteer | 1KG6ZJ |
Perspective employees should submit originals of their clearances to the Human Resources office. Volunteers should bring their original clearances to the appropriate building principal. Copies will be made and be kept on file. Current employees of our school district are not required to renew their clearances for purposes of volunteering.
