Fingerprinting
New
York State has instituted a new law, requiring all persons
seeking employment in a school district must be
fingerprinted, have background checks and be issued a
clearance by the State Education Department prior to
starting work. New employees who have not completed this
process in another school district must request a
fingerprinting packet at the Guilderland Human Resources
Office immediately upon returning all paperwork.
A fee
of $99 is charge and must be forwarded in the form of a
Certified Check or Money Order made payable to the “New
York State Education Department.” (Please note that the
district will pay the $99 processing fee for bus drivers
that have been offered a position with the Guilderland
School District. However, the drivers must work for the
district at least one year. Otherwise, the district will
reclaim the fee in full, if necessary, by deducting it from
the employee’s final pay.)
The
fingerprinting process takes about three weeks to complete,
and it is therefore important that prospective employees
complete this process as soon as possible. At the present
time, fingerprinting is available by appointment at the
locations listed below.

packets
Contact

for a fingerprinting packet, which consists of two
fingerprint cards, fingerprint instructions and a consent
form. Also available online is the “Security Background

time that you return the fingerprint packet to the personnel
office.
After
you have been fingerprinted, please return all completed
information to the personnel office. It is important that
you do not seal the envelope included in the packet, since a
school district check needs to be included.
