Administrative Regulation Background Investigation Fingerprinting All new academic and
classified employees are required to be fingerprinted for background
investigation by the district through the State Department of Justice (Bureau
of Criminal Identification) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The fingerprinting shall be for the purpose of background investigation
of new employees through the State Department of Justice (Bureau of Criminal
Identification) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. All new employees must have fingerprint
clearance prior to employment. Emergency appointments for
employment may be exempted from this provision.
An emergency appointment may exist when the District requires an
employee to begin employment immediately or when extenuating circumstances
prohibit an employee from being fingerprinted through a local law enforcement
agency. All employees receiving such
emergency appointments will be required to sign an agreement acknowledging such
appointment with the understanding that if negative information is received
subsequent to employment with the District that this may result in
disqualification under this procedure. All job applicants are
required to report criminal conviction records during the initial application
process. Applicants are required to
provide information related to each conviction. CONVICTIONS As provided in EC 87405 and
88022, conviction of the following offenses shall make an applicant ineligible
for employment, subject to the provision of EC 87405 and EC99022 regarding rehabilitation: 1.
Sex offenses as
defined in EC 87101 2.
Controlled
substance offenses as defined in 87011 PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW OF

UPON EMPLOYMENT Each new academic and
classified employee is fingerprinted as provided in Education Code 8013 and

of the State of California Department of Justice, criminal conviction records

administrators in charge of academic and classified personnel, and designated

cards will include a written statement to describe the specific reason(s) why
the fingerprint impressions were unacceptable.
The District shall direct the applicant to have all ten fingers
reprinted, and resubmit the card so the criminal history response process may
be completed. There is no additional fee
for processing reprinted applicant fingerprint cards when they are rejected. Adopted: 6/29/98 |
