Request Results of Fingerprint Background Check 08

All adults working in Idaho public schools (certificated and non-certificated), or applying for certification, are currently required to have the results of a criminal history check on file with the State Department of Education. This process includes:

• Being fingerprinted on an Idaho fingerprint card
• Submitting fingerprint card & fee of $40 to the Office of Certification
• Check is conducted through: (1) Statewide Criminal Identification Bureau; (2) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history check; (3) National Crime Information Center; and (4) Statewide Sex Offender Register.
• Clearing the criminal background check (no felonies as noted in section 33-130, Idaho Code).
• Per the Bureau of Criminal Identification the date must be within 180 days of the fingerprint check submission.
• All incomplete fingerprint cards will be returned for completion.

The State Department of Education has approved a new payment process for the Background Records Office. This process, which was designed to assist the districts in meeting the five-day submission requirement, will allow a district to make advance deposits to cover fingerprinting to the Background Records Office. As fingerprints are received from the district, the processing fees will be subtracted from the balance of the prepaid account. Districts will be notified when the account is getting low on funds. For more information, please contact Shannon Haas at the Department at (208) 332-6888 SHHaas@sde.idaho.gov or Cathi Day (208)332-6883 at CJDay@sde.idaho.gov.
