Fingerprinting Requirements for Vernon Public Schools
Vernon Public Schools requires that any person (teacher, administrator, special service staff member, teacher’s aide, custodian, cafeteria employee, etc.) who is hired by a local or regional board of education submit to a state and national criminal history record check within 10 calendar days of the date of employment. The process includes the checking of fingerprints by the State Police Department and Federal Bureau of Identification as well as a check by the Department of Children and Families. The results of the criminal history record checks are reported to the employing school district. If the district receives notice of a conviction of a crime by a person holding a certificate, authorization, or permit issued by the State Board of Education, the district shall notify the Bureau of Educator Standards and Certification.
All fingerprints submissions require a processing fee money order payable to “Treasurer-State of CT”in the amount of $12.00. The fingerprint card and money order are returned to Human Resources at the Vernon Board of Education.
Fingerprints must be completed on the Department of Public Safety’s (DPS), most updated fingerprint card, DPS-125C Rev 10/11 card.
