Fingerprinting Process

 

In accordance with California law, all applicants (certificated and classified) must have their fingerprints cleared prior to the start of work.  Applicants will incur all charges for fingerprinting and fingerprints may not be transferred from one employer to another.

 

Individuals who have been convicted of serious and/or violent crimes are precluded from being hired by California public school districts.   

 

Employees may not be placed at a work site prior to the District receiving clearance from the Department of Justice.  Classified employees are also required to receive clearance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Fingerprinting can only occur once an applicant has been offered employment.

On the day of your appointment, the Fingerprint Technician will submit your Fingerprints electronically to the Department of Justice/FBI.  It may take two (2) weeks or more to receive the clearances.  If you have not lived in California or were born prior to 1945, the clearances may take longer.  We do not control the length of time required to receive results nor can we inquire from the DOJ and/or FBI regarding the progress of the reports. 

 

Please do not inquire about clearances for at least seven days.  You will be contacted by the District when your clearances are received.
