from teacher background checks from PublicInfoGuide.com.
What is Revealed in a Teacher Background Check?
With either a state or national teacher background check, the report you receive
with your teacher background check will include different types of existing information
related to felony, misdemeanor, or civil infractions. You'll also receive basic information
that is public, but unrelated to criminal activity.
PublicInfoGuide.com leverages information from the largest criminal database in the U.S.
to provide instant background reporting. For criminal inquiries regarding state-specific
information, we also provide comprehensive
state background check
reports. Our national background checks
feature information gleaned from sources that contain more than 245 million criminal
records, and nearly 2 million with picture identification.
Depending on the subject, teacher background checks may include:
- Recent Addressees
- Relatives with Shares Addresses
- Felonies, Misdemeanors, and/or Infractions
- Court Records
- Aircraft and Watercraft Registrations
- Business Filings
- Bankruptcies
- And More
Appropriate and Legal Use of Your Teacher Background Check
With a teacher background check comes responsibility for compliance. Teacher background
checks are sometimes used in making a no-hire decisions. When this occurs,
compliance
guidelines issued by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA) must be followed.
PublicInfoGuide.com has offered these basic tips to follow (please note that these are
in no way meant to take the place of formal legal advice).
- Written Screening Policy for Your Organization.
To make sure that a screening process is conducted fairly for all applicants, your
organization must have clearly identified protocols of which all involved parties are aware.
Be aware that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) prohibits blanket policies
that forbid employment because a conviction is discovered through a teacher
background check.
- Appropriate Evaluation of the Offense(s) in Question.
There is often a subtle difference between misdemeanors and felonies. Based on the nature
of your organization and/or the position the teacher background check is being used for,
some misdemeanor offenses may actually be more alarming than those deemed felonies by the
judicial system.
- Consider the Amount of Time Since the Offense Occurred.
In light of the fact that the transgressions from younger days remain on the record for a
lifetime, consider the present individual. During an interview, it is quite possible
to observe that a teacher may have learned from past mistakes. Though the offense, the date
of its occurrence, and/or the information gleaned from an interview may leave you feeling
like another candidate is better suited for the position, fair consideration is imperative.
- Is the Offense Related to the Position?
Offenses revealed in an teacher background check may have no bearing on the responsibilities
of the position in question. For instance, hiring a person whose teacher background check
contains traffic violations might be less worrisome than someone with criminal sexual conduct.
More about important regulations and compliance issues can be found when you visit the US
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) web site at www.eeoc.gov. We encourage all
those looking for a teacher background check to visit before purchasing.
