Regulations we keep you aligned with
State Department of Education statutes
Most states mandate fingerprint-based state and FBI criminal history for licensed and unlicensed school employees, with specific disqualifying offenses.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
Federal funding requires criminal background checks that include FBI, state, and child-abuse registry searches.
Clery Act (higher ed)
Campus security policies must reflect screening practices for employees in safety-sensitive or residential-life roles.
K–12 screening FAQ
Do you coordinate fingerprint-based state and FBI checks?+
Yes. We schedule candidates with state-approved Live Scan or cardscan vendors and ingest results into the candidate file alongside name-based searches.
How do you handle volunteers and contractors?+
We support separate intake flows and lower-cost packages for volunteers, substitute teachers, vendors, and contractors that touch student environments.
Do you check state child-abuse registries?+
Yes — in every state that maintains a registry and permits employer access (e.g., Pennsylvania ChildLine, New York SCR, New Jersey CARI).
Can the portal handle a back-to-school hiring surge?+
Yes. Bulk-invite tools, batch package assignment, and parallel collection windows are built specifically for August / September spikes.
