Background Checks

Our Human Resources office provides background checks by appointment only for our employees or potential employees. We do not provide background checks for outside agencies.

All employees must be fingerprinted and receive BCII and FBI background checks before working in the district. The cost of this procedure is $50, payable by cash (exact change only) or check at time of application. The district will not accept background checks from outside agencies. 

Fingerprinting may be completed in the Human Resources Office at 7946 Beechmont Avenue by appointment only. 

Background check processing times may take from 24 hours to two months. 

Background checks are valid for 5 years.
