Policy Background
Investigation Fingerprinting Fingerprinting/Background
Investigation 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 new employees 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. Fingerprinting
service for employment will be processed through the local law enforcement
agency. The cost of the processing of
the fingerprints shall be paid by the District.
The fee is determined by the Department of Justice for the processing of
fingerprint cards for State and Federal levels. Rejected
Fingerprint Cards All
rejected fingerprinting cards will include a written statement to describe the
specific reason(s) the fingerprinting impression were unacceptable. The District shall direct the applicant to
have fingerprints taken and resubmitted so that the criminal history response
process may be completed. This applies
to both the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
resubmissions. There is no additional
fee for processing reprinted applicant fingerprint cards when the rejected
cards are attached. If the resubmitted
print are rejected a second time, the District shall direct the application to
have another set of fingerprints taken for submission and shall pay the
required processing fee. Employees
failing to secure fingerprints shall not be considered as legally employed. Subsequent
Arrest Notification For no
additional charge, the District will contract with the Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Information for subsequent arrest notification should an
applicant or employee be arrested subsequent to the initial fingerprint
processing. Reference: Education
