Decatur Public Schoiol District issued the following announcement on Feb. 2.
We've received several inquiries recently from our public regarding what type of background checks are performed on our employees. Each person hired by the district is required to provide fingerprints collected by a third party vendor. These fingerprints are then submitted through the following databases for the district's background check:
Fingerprint-based Illinois State Police check
Fingerprint-based Federal Bureau of Investigation check
Murderer and Violent Offender Against Youth Registry check
Illinois Sex Offender Registry Check
National Sex Offender Registry Check Not required by school code but is performed at DPS#61
This is an important step to ensure we create safe and secure work environments for our staff and learning environments for our students!
