Employment Clearances
Pennsylvania School Law requires that all applicants for employment in public schools, employees of independent contractors seeking business with public schools, and student teacher candidates undergo background checks if they will have direct contact with students. If you are the successful candidate for a position, then you will be required to submit all the clearances listed below as part of the onboarding process.
New employees will upload their clearances to the employee management system as part of the on-boarding process.
Existing employees with updated clearances should send documentation to the District's Administration Building via U.S. mail, interoffice mail or in-person.
