ALL NEW EMPLOYEES MUST COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING PAPERWORK PRIOR TO EMPLOYMENT:

On October 22, 2014, Governor Tom Corbett signed into law Act 153 of 2014, which significantly changed the background check requirements for new and current school employees, contractors, and volunteers. All new employees must obtain clearances prior to employment. The law, amended on July 1, 2015, requires current employees to obtain new clearances every 60 months.

  1. Clearances (Important Note About Clearances: All of the required clearances listed below must be dated within 12 months/1 year of submission. For individuals whose FBI Criminal History Report is older than one year, individuals must submit a paper copy of the unofficial Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) report on Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) letterhead. TB test results must be dated within one year of submission.)

    1. Click on "Create Individual Account."

    2. You must create a "Keystone ID" and follow the step-by-step directions for receiving a temporary password by email, and then creating a new password. Be sure to keep your Keystone ID as you will need this to log back into your account to create a new password.

    3. When results are available, you will receive an email. Log back into your account and view the official results.

    4. Save the results page to your computer and also print a copy for your records.

    5. Save this certificate to your computer and print a copy for your records.
