Frequently Asked Questions

I was fingerprinted before. Do I need to do it again?

It is against the law for different agencies to share confidential fingerprint results with each other. Therefore, you must be fingerprinted any time you change employers within the public school system.

How long does it take to get fingerprint clearance?

Fingerprint clearance varies. The approximate time frame is one to two weeks. However, fingerprint clearance can take as long as several months to clear.

How do I make an appointment to be fingerprinted?

A list of local agencies and all applicable forms will be provided if you are offered employment at SCOE. You may contact the agency directly to make an appointment.
